PA SR17

Designates February 7, 2025, as "National Wear Red Day" in Pennsylvania to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease in women

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for women in the United States, causing approximately one in three female deaths annually

Nearly 50 million women in the U.S. are affected by cardiovascular disease, with 90% having at least one risk factor for heart disease or stroke

Approximately 80% of cardiovascular diseases are preventable through controlling risk factors such as blood pressure, smoking, cholesterol, and physical activity

Urges Pennsylvania residents to wear red on this day to support the American Heart Association's "Go Red for Women" movement and commemorate the fight against cardiovascular disease in women
