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, educates communities about healthier lifestyles, and identifies gaps in health service delivery that disproportionately affect minorities. The Commission collaborates with organizations like the American Heart Association to highlight the importance of heart health within these communities.

The resolution acknowledges the Commission's ongoing efforts to bridge the health status gap between minority and majority populations in Arkansas. By making recommendations to relevant agencies and the General Assembly, the Commission seeks to improve healthcare access and delivery for minorities. The House of Representatives and the Senate express their appreciation for the Commission's work and commit to providing a copy of the resolution to its leaders upon adoption.
