Procfamation
Whereas, heart disease continues to be the leading cause of death in the United States and
affects men and women of every age and race; and
Whereas, someone in the United States dies from cardiovascular disease every 38 seconds; and
Whereas, the chance of developing coronary heart disease can be reduced by taking simple
steps to prevent and control certain factors that put people at greater risk; and
Whereas, Renton Heart Month serves to increase public awareness of the importance of
fighting cardiovascular disease by developing good eating habits, being physically active, and
taking advantage of preventative screenings; and
Whereas, being aware of the warning signs of a heart attack or stroke and knowing what to
do may help save a life; all Renton residents are encouraged to learn how to perform
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and use an automatic external defibrillator (AED);
Now, therefore, I, Denis Law, Mayor of the City of Renton, do hereby proclaim February 2019
to be
Renton Ynfeart Wonth
and I encourage all residents to increase their awareness of cardiovascular disease, detection,
and prevention by participating in this important community risk reduction campaign.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the City of Renton to
be affixed this 4th day of February, 2019.
