The resolution introduced by various representatives in Michigan declares February 2025 as American Heart Month and February 5, 2025, as National Wear Red Day. 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 the risks and warning signs of heart disease.

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 and encourages women to understand their health risks. By designating these specific months and days, the resolution seeks to mobilize the community to wear red in solidarity and to foster discussions about heart health, ultimately aiming to save lives through increased awareness and preventive measures.
