Designate Cardiovascular Health Awareness Day
HB 104 would designate February 14 each year as "Cardiovascular Health Awareness Day" by adding a new section (5.2540) to Ohio's Revised Code. This bill creates a symbolic state observance without imposing new requirements on individuals, businesses, or healthcare providers. The designation aims to encourage public awareness and educational activities focused on heart health during February. It directly affects Ohio's official calendar and serves as a tool for community organizations to promote cardiovascular health initiatives.
