Proclaims February 2, 2018 as Wear Red Day in Arizona to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease in women.

Recognizes that cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death for women in the United States, killing one woman approximately every 80 seconds.

Notes that up to 80% of cardiovascular disease cases may be preventable through controlling risk factors such as high blood pressure, smoking, high cholesterol, and lack of physical activity.

Highlights the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women movement, which encourages women to learn their family history and work with healthcare providers to identify cardiovascular disease and stroke risk.

Encourages Arizona citizens to wear red on February 2, 2018 to demonstrate support for women's heart health and the fight against heart disease.
