A senate RESOLUTION
TO INVITE ALL SOUTH CAROLINIANS TO PARTICIPATE IN "NATIONAL WEAR RED DAY" ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2024, DURING AMERICAN HEART MONTH AND TO ENCOURAGE ALL CITIZENS OF SOUTH CAROLINA TO JOIN TOGETHER IN REAFFIRMING OUR COMMITMENT TO FIGHTING CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE IN WOMEN THROUGHOUT THIS GREAT STATE.
Whereas, in recognition of American Heart Month, the South Carolina Senate is pleased to spotlight "National Wear Red Day" which is set for Friday, February 2, 2024. For this event, we honor the memory of beloved women we have lost to heart disease, and we celebrate the courage of the countless women who are living strong, full lives despite having heart conditions; and
Whereas, on this special day, we wear red to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease and help save lives, because even one woman lost to cardiovascular disease is too many. From landmarks to online communities and neighborhoods to news anchors, this annual groundswell unites millions of people in a common goal: the eradication of heart disease and stroke; and
Whereas, pressing statistics drive this concern for women's heart health. First, nearly 45% of women ages 20+ are living with some form of cardiovascular disease; second, less than half of women entering pregnancy in the United States have optimal cardiovascular health; and third, women experience unique life stages, such as pregnancy and menopause, that can put them at an increased risk for cardiovascular disease. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, invite all South Carolinians to participate in "National Wear Red Day" on Friday, February 2, 2024, during American Heart Month and encourage all citizens of South Carolina to join together in reaffirming our commitment to fighting cardiovascular disease in women throughout this great State.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the American Heart Association in South Carolina.
