Bill > SR642

This resolution formally recognizes February 7-14, 2026, as Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Week at the state capitol, aiming to raise awareness about these common birth defects that affect many families and can lead to serious health issues, including sudden cardiac death if undiagnosed, especially in young athletes. The resolution highlights that despite the prevalence of congenital heart defects, regular screenings are not yet standard practice, and it designates this awareness week as a time for affected families to celebrate life, remember lost loved ones, honor healthcare professionals, and share vital information with the public. Furthermore, the Secretary of the Senate is directed to distribute copies of this resolution to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and its Kids at Heart program, an initiative focused on supporting children with heart conditions.
