A reader on the Senate floor recited an Arizona State Senate proclamation designating February 2025 as American Heart Month, citing national statistics on out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and urging increased CPR training and AED availability. The proclamation noted that more than 350,000 people experience cardiac arrest outside a hospital each year and referenced the American Heart Association’s goal to double survival by 2030.
The chamber also welcomed health professionals and guests tied to the proclamation. The 'doctor of the day' for Legislative District 4, Dr. Anand, was introduced with a summary of her training and practice (George Washington University medical school, internal medicine residency at Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, allergy/immunology fellowship at National Jewish Medical Center, and local teaching/precepting roles).

The proclamation was presented as a ceremonial recognition on the Senate floor; no legislative action or vote on the proclamation is recorded in the transcript. The Senate proceeded with other introductions and committee scheduling before adjourning.
