Bill > HR6025

This resolution recognizes the first Thursday in February, specifically February 5, 2026, as "Wear Red Day" within the Kansas Legislature. This observance is part of a national effort to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease, which is the leading cause of death for women in the United States, responsible for one in three deaths annually. The resolution highlights that heart disease and stroke can affect women of all ages and that a significant portion of these deaths, up to 80%, are preventable through lifestyle changes such as a tobacco-free life, healthy eating, and exercise. By wearing red, the Kansas Legislature joins the national movement to emphasize the importance of awareness, education, and research in combating this preventable disease, acknowledging the vital role women play in society and the increased risk they may face due to their responsibilities.
