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, prevents diseases prevalent in minority communities, and identifies gaps in health service delivery. The Commission also collaborates with relevant agencies and the General Assembly to improve healthcare access and delivery for minorities.

Additionally, the Arkansas Minority Health Commission works to bridge the health status gap between minority and majority populations by educating communities about healthier lifestyles and promoting awareness of available healthcare services. Its partnership with the American Heart Association and initiatives like Million Hearts highlight the importance of heart health in minority communities. The resolution calls for the House of Representatives and the Senate to formally recognize the Commission's efforts and provide a copy of the resolution to its leaders.
