HR 172 Georgia House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Wear Red Day; February 7, 2025; recognize

HR 172 is a symbolic resolution recognizing February 7, 2025, as "Wear Red Day" to highlight cardiovascular disease as a critical health threat to women. It does not create new laws or policies but formally acknowledges the American Heart Association's "Go Red for Women" campaign, which addresses awareness gaps and health disparities related to women's heart health. The resolution cites statistics showing heart disease is the leading cause of death among women, including maternal deaths and higher stroke mortality rates, but it only serves to recognize the day publicly. This resolution affects no specific group through policy changes - it solely aims to raise awareness through official acknowledgment.
