Proclaims February 3, 2017 as National Wear Red Day in Arizona to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease and stroke in women.

Recognizes that heart disease and stroke kill one in three women in the United States, with an estimated 44 million women affected by cardiovascular diseases.

Encourages women to learn their family medical histories and meet with healthcare providers to determine their cardiovascular disease and stroke risk.

Promotes the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women movement, which advises women to track five key health metrics: total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, and body mass index.

Urges Arizona citizens to wear red on February 3, 2017 to show support for women and demonstrate commitment to reducing cardiovascular disease risk.
