A resolution to recognize February 2020 as American Heart Month and February 19, 2020, as "Go Red for Women Day".

Whereas, Cardiovascular diseases are the number one killer of women in the United States; and

Whereas, About 80 percent of cardiovascular diseases may be preventable; and

Whereas, Some risk factors such as blood pressure, smoking, cholesterol, and lack of regular physical activity can be controlled; and

Whereas, The American Heart Association�s Go Red for Women� movement motivates women to learn about their family history and to meet with a healthcare provider to determine their risk for cardiovascular diseases and stroke; and

Whereas, "Go Red for Women" encourages women to take control of their heart health by understanding five life-changing numbers:

� 1. Total Cholesterol;

� 2. HDL (good) Cholesterol;

� 3. Blood Pressure;

� 4. Blood Sugar;

� 5. Body Mass Index (BMI); and

Whereas, The American Heart Association celebrates February 2020 as American Heart Month by promoting education, awareness, and encouraging citizens to learn the warning signs of a heart attack and stroke; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate, That we recognize February 2020 as American Heart Month and February 19, 2020, as "Go Red for Women Day"; and be it further

Resolved, That we also recognize the importance of the ongoing fight against heart disease and stroke and urge all citizens to support women and the fight against heart disease by wearing the color red; and be it further

Resolved, That increasing awareness, speaking out about heart disease, and empowering women to reduce their risk for cardiovascular disease and stroke can save thousands of lives each year.
