WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize the American Heart Association and to proclaim
February 1, 2019, National Wear Red Day in Texas; and
WHEREAS, The vast majority of cardiovascular diseases are
preventable, yet millions of women are affected by heart

killer of women in the United States; and
WHEREAS, Risk factors for cardiovascular diseases include
high blood pressure, smoking, and high cholesterol, all of which
can be controlled with healthy lifestyle choices; and
WHEREAS, The American Heart Association established the Go
Red for Women movement to encourage women to take charge of their
heart health by learning their family health histories and by
meeting with their health care providers to determine their risk
factors for cardiovascular disease; and

to show their support for women and the ongoing fight against
heart disease; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th

express their support for women by observing National Wear Red
Day in Texas and commend all associated with the American Heart
Association for promoting the health of women; and, be it further
