Proclamation 10892 of February 3, 2025
American Heart Month, 2025
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Every day, untold numbers of our friends, relatives,
neighbors, and coworkers are affected by the
devastating affliction of heart disease. As the
Nation's leading cause of death, cardiovascular disease
has stolen infinite lives, crushed countless families,
and imposed unimaginable heartbreak upon Americans of
every walk of life. This American Heart Month, we mourn
and pray for those we have lost and recommit ourselves
to ending the deadly plight of heart disease once and
for all.
Thanks to advancements in medicine, science, and
technology, our Nation has made tremendous strides in
combatting heart disease--and the American people are
now better equipped than ever before to receive
lifesaving treatments, respond to medical
complications, and modify behavior and habits to ensure
they can lead long and healthy lives.
But even one soul lost to heart disease is a tragedy
beyond comprehension. To that end, my Administration
will work diligently to save lives, lower healthcare
costs, and foster a stronger, safer, and healthier
future for every citizen. For as long as I am
President, I will always be an unwavering advocate for
improving the health of every American.
The first step in confronting the cardiac disease
crisis is taking concrete action to lower the odds of
diagnosis--and encouraging those in our lives to take
all necessary measures to root out unhealthy habits.
Research has consistently shown that risk factors
contributing to heart disease include obesity, high
blood pressure and cholesterol, lack of exercise,
excessive alcohol use, and smoking. Making small
adjustments to our health and routines can yield
extraordinary and even life-saving results. My
Administration is also steadfastly committed to
cracking down on Big Pharma and ending the chronic
disease epidemic. And we will fulfill our pledge to
investigate what has caused the decades-long increase
in health problems and childhood diseases--including
obesity, autoimmune disorders, infertility, and autism.
As Americans, we owe it to ourselves and our families
to take care of our bodies--and to cherish God's gift
of life for as long and as vigorously as we can.
As we enter into this American Heart Month, let us seek
to improve our health, lengthen our lives, and nurture
a culture, a government, and a Nation that upholds the
dignity of life and protects the human heart.
In acknowledgement of the importance of the ongoing
fight against cardiovascular disease, the Congress, by
Joint Resolution approved on December 30, 1963, as
amended (36 U.S.C. 101), has requested that the
President issue an annual proclamation designating
February as American Heart Month.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the
United States of America, do hereby proclaim February
2025 as American Heart Month, and I invite all
Americans to participate in National Wear Red Day on
February 7, 2025. I also invite the Governors of the
States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, officials of
other areas subject to the jurisdiction of the United
States, and the American people to join my
Administration in recognizing and restating our pledge
to fighting heart disease in all its forms.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
third day of February, in the year of our Lord two
thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and forty-
ninth.
