This resolution recognizes February 2025 as American Heart Month in Macon-Bibb County, drawing attention to the critical issue of cardiovascular health, particularly for women. The resolution highlights that the American Heart Association has designated February as a month of awareness since 1963, with a specific focus on women's heart health through their Go Red for Women initiative. It emphasizes that cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death for women in the United States, with African American women being disproportionately affected. The resolution acknowledges a coalition of women-led organizations, including sororities, church groups, and community organizations, that have partnered with the American Heart Association to raise awareness and provide education about heart disease. By adopting this resolution, the House of Representatives encourages Macon-Bibb County residents to work together to improve women's health and increase understanding of heart disease, and directs the Clerk of the House to distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press.
