Bill > HR1166

This resolution recognizes Friday, February 6, 2026, as National Wear Red Day, an initiative that aims to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease, which is the leading cause of death for women in the United States and affects nearly half of all women over 20. The resolution highlights that women often experience different heart attack symptoms than men, that certain racial and ethnic groups of women face higher risks and barriers to care, and that women are more likely to experience strokes and suffer long-term disability. It also acknowledges the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women movement for its efforts in education, research, and advocacy, and encourages all Georgia residents to learn about the signs of heart disease and stroke in women, support prevention and early detection, and participate in efforts to improve women's cardiovascular health through awareness and education.
