    AAWHL California Senate Resolution

    -1- 

    July 22, 2015 

    August 5, 2015 (rev.) 

    RN 15 52938 

    MEMBER'S RESOLUTION 

    By the Honorable Richard Pan, 6th Senatorial District; the Honorable Isadore Hall, III, 35th Senatorial District; the Honorable Holly J. Mitchell, 30th Senatorial District; and the Honorable Reginald Byron Jones-Sawyer, Sr., 59th Assembly District; Relative to 

    AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN'S HEALTH LEGACY MONTH 

    WHEREAS, African American Women's Health Legacy (AAWHL) month celebrates the legacy of families and recognizes the importance of putting a face on chronic diseases in the State of California to preserve the legacy of African-American families for generations to come; and 

    WHEREAS, Many chronic diseases are preventable but are the cause of the loss of countless lives, and the risk factors for diabetes and pre-diabetes, hypertension, obesity, physical -2- 

    inactivity, and mental health are major issues that disproportionately affect communities of color; and 

    WHEREAS, The life expectancy for families living in Sacramento neighborhoods with high African-American populations is 10 to 15 years shorter as compared to areas in Sacramento County with the highest life expectancy, and cultural health and wellness remain a priority for families, communities, and government agencies committed to the legacy of wellness for future generations; and 

    WHEREAS, While AAWHL recognizes the significant role mothers play as the legacy holder of the family, the important responsibility of keeping families healthy and promoting awareness of health issues, including mental health, depends on the actions of many groups and organizations in our communities; and 

    WHEREAS, AAWHL challenges California mother's to take action to make wellness a priority for themselves and their families, become aware of the risk of chronic diseases, and take action to preserve their families health legacy; and 

    WHEREAS, The Yes2Kollege Education and Health Resources, Inc.'s African American Women's Health Legacy Program has selected the month of August as a time to focus on community -3- 

    outreach and programming that will bring resources and awareness to the 15 neighborhoods designated by the Sierra Health Foundation's Healthy Sacramento Coalition; and 

    WHEREAS, Every year during the month of August, AAWHL will host a series of events recognizing health heroines throughout the State of California to spread awareness about chronic disease while gaining vital resources; now, therefore, be it 

    RESOLVED BY SENATORS RICHARD PAN, ISADORE HALL, III, AND HOLLY J. MITCHELL AND ASSEMBLY MEMBER REGINALD BYRON JONES-SAWYER, SR., That they recognize August 2015 as African American Women's Health Legacy month, and commend the efforts of those individuals and organizations who endeavor to work together to promote and improve the wellness of their families and increase awareness and understanding of the legacy of wellness.
