Title 3— 

The President 

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.
