The resolution introduced by various representatives declares February 2025 as American Heart Month and February 5, 2025, as National Wear Red Day in Michigan. It highlights the significant impact of cardiovascular disease on individuals across all demographics, particularly emphasizing its status as the leading cause of death among women. The resolution points out alarming statistics, such as nearly 45% of women over 20 living with some form of cardiovascular disease and the disproportionate effects on Black and Hispanic women. It also notes the lack of awareness among younger generations regarding heart disease and its warning signs, as well as the projected increase in cardiovascular disease prevalence and related healthcare costs in the coming years.

The resolution aims to raise awareness about cardiovascular health and encourages citizens to take proactive steps in managing their heart health. It supports initiatives like the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women movement, which promotes education on heart disease risk factors and encourages women to engage with healthcare providers. By designating these specific months and days, the resolution seeks to empower individuals to recognize the importance of heart health, advocate for themselves and others, and ultimately save lives through increased awareness and lifestyle changes.
