A resolution to declare February 2026 as American Heart Month and February 6, 2026, as National Wear Red Day in the state of Michigan.
This resolution symbolically declares February 2026 as American Heart Month and February 6, 2026, as National Wear Red Day within Michigan. It aims to raise public awareness about heart disease - particularly its disproportionate impact on women, including Black and Hispanic women - and encourages actions like learning heart health risk factors. The resolution does not create new laws or obligations; it is a non-binding declaration to support existing awareness efforts like the American Heart Association's "Go Red for Women" campaign. It directly affects Michigan residents through state recognition of these national observances.
