Thanks to the nearly 100 advocates who visited their lawmakers on Advocacy Day, February 14th, as well as the many phone calls and emails sent by ALL our fantastic advocates, two heart-health victories were achieved in Kentucky's 60-day session!

Senate Bill 110 clarifies statues regarding shared use agreements between schools and other organizations making it more likely that schools will open their facilities for increased physical activity opportunities after school hours. Also making it all the way through the legislative process this session was House Bill 467, which will establish a statewide stroke registry, resulting in fewer deaths and reduced disability for Kentucky's stroke victims.
 
In addition, the Smoke-Free Kentucky Bill, House Bill 289, was heard and voted favorably out of the Health and Welfare Committee--a small but important victory in the fight for a Smoke-Free Kentucky! Please take a moment now to let your lawmakers know you want Kentucky to be the next smoke-free state!
