INTRODUCED AS NONCONTROVERSIAL RESOLUTION UNDER RULE 35,
JANUARY 29, 2007
A RESOLUTION
1 Recognizing February 2007 as "Women's Heart Month" in
2 Pennsylvania.
3 WHEREAS, February has been designated as "American Heart
4 Month"; and
5 WHEREAS, One out of every three women in the United States is
6 affected by heart disease--the number one killer of women in the
7 nation--but there remain far fewer educational and behavioral
8 programs for women's heart health than for other diseases; and
9 WHEREAS, The Working Hearts coalition and its partners,
10 celebrating their first anniversary, are making tremendous
11 efforts to address this crisis by promoting a public health
1 campaign, "Strong Women/Strong Hearts," and by serving as a
2 catalyst for improving women's heart health awareness, education
3 and research; and
4 WHEREAS, Working Hearts amplifies the power of its local
5 members in the Pittsburgh region and their national counterparts
6 and encourages every woman to improve her own heart health
7 through better nutrition, physical activity, screenings and
8 stress management; therefore be it
9 RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives recognize the
10 month of February 2007 as "Women's Heart Month," during which
11 all women and their families are urged to learn about women's
12 heart health and the importance of heart-healthy behavior.
