Plain-language change summary

The bill now officially designates February 2017 as American Heart Month in Wisconsin, emphasizing the importance of raising awareness about cardiovascular diseases, particularly among women. It highlights alarming statistics, like the fact that cardiovascular diseases kill a woman every 80 seconds and that many women might not recognize their own risk factors. This amendment seeks to encourage awareness and proactive health management, especially among underrepresented communities, by supporting initiatives like the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women movement. By making this proclamation, the legislature aims to foster a greater public understanding of heart health and its significance.
