Bill > HR72

This resolution declares February 6, 2026, as Wear Red Day in the State of Alabama, aligning with National Wear Red Day, to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease, which is the leading cause of death for women in the United States and affects nearly half of women over 20. The resolution highlights that women often experience different heart attack symptoms than men, and certain demographic groups, including Black, Hispanic and Latina, and Indigenous women, face greater risks and barriers to care. It also notes that women are more likely to experience strokes and less likely to receive bystander CPR, emphasizing the need for education and awareness. The resolution encourages all Alabama residents to learn the signs of heart disease and stroke in women, support prevention and early detection, and participate in efforts to improve women's cardiovascular health.
