Bill > SR215

This resolution, originating from the Pennsylvania Senate, officially recognizes February 6, 2026, as "National Wear Red Day" within the state. The resolution highlights that cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for women in the United States and that a significant number of women are affected by it or have risk factors for heart disease and stroke. It emphasizes that many of these conditions are preventable through individual actions like managing blood pressure, cholesterol, and physical activity, and by being aware of crucial health numbers such as total cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, and body mass index. The "Go Red for Women" movement, supported by the American Heart Association, is mentioned as an initiative that empowers women to take control of their heart health. By designating this day, the Senate aims to increase awareness about the importance of heart health for women and encourage all Pennsylvania residents to show their support by wearing red.
