This resolution honors the Arkansas Minority Health Commission during American Heart Month in February for its dedicated efforts to combat heart disease within minority populations in Arkansas. Established in 1991, the Commission aims to ensure equitable access to preventive healthcare for all minority Arkansans. It actively promotes health awareness, addresses disparities in health status, and works to improve access to health services through research, education, and collaboration with relevant agencies.

The Commission's initiatives include identifying gaps in healthcare delivery, making recommendations to enhance services for minorities, and partnering with organizations like the American Heart Association to emphasize the importance of heart health. By focusing on educating minority communities about healthier lifestyles and promoting awareness of available healthcare services, the Arkansas Minority Health Commission strives to bridge the health gap between minority and majority populations in the state.
