The resolution honors the Arkansas Minority Health Commission for its significant contributions to addressing heart disease among minority populations in Arkansas, particularly during American Heart Month in February. Established in 1991, the Commission aims to ensure equitable access to preventive healthcare for all minority Arkansans. It actively promotes health awareness, identifies gaps in health service delivery, and makes recommendations to improve access to healthcare for minority communities. The Commission's efforts are crucial in bridging the health status gap between minority and majority populations in the state.

Additionally, the Arkansas Minority Health Commission collaborates with organizations like the American Heart Association to emphasize the importance of heart health in minority communities. Through education and advocacy, the Commission seeks to address existing health disparities and promote healthier lifestyles among these populations. The resolution calls for recognition of the Commission's work and directs that a copy be provided to its leaders following adoption.
