MI HR0018

Declares February 2025 as American Heart Month and February 5, 2025, as National Wear Red Day in Michigan

Highlights that cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women, claiming more lives than all forms of cancer combined, yet only 44% of women recognize it as their greatest health threat

Notes that Black and Hispanic women are disproportionately impacted by heart disease and stroke, and heart attacks are increasing among younger women

Projects cardiovascular disease will account for over $1 trillion in healthcare expenditures and lost productivity annually by 2035

Encourages citizens to wear red on February 5, 2025, to support women's health awareness and urges people to learn warning signs of heart attacks and strokes
