WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize the American Heart Association and to proclaim | ||
February 3, 2017, National Wear Red Day in Texas; and | ||
WHEREAS, Nearly 80 percent of cardiovascular diseases are | ||
preventable, yet an estimated 44 million women in the United | ||
States are affected by cardiovascular disease, and one in three | ||
women will die from the condition; and | ||
WHEREAS, Although 90 percent of women have one or more risk | ||
factors for developing heart disease, only a limited number of | ||
women recognize cardiovascular disease as a potential threat to | ||
their well-being; and | ||
WHEREAS, Thousands of lives can be saved each year by | ||
increasing the public's awareness of heart disease and stroke and | ||
by empowering women to find ways to reduce their risk of both; and | ||
WHEREAS, The American Heart Association's Go Red For Women | ||
campaign motivates women to learn about their family health | ||
histories and to work with a health care provider to determine | ||
their personal risk factors for cardiovascular diseases and | ||
strokes; National Wear Red Day in Texas is an opportunity for | ||
citizens across the state to display their support for women and | ||
for the ongoing fight against heart disease; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th | ||
Legislature, hereby urge all Texans to show their support for | ||
women by observing National Wear Red Day in Texas and commend all | ||
associated with the American Heart Association for their work | ||
promoting the health of women; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared as a | ||
memento of this important day. | ||
Campbell | ||
