A resolution designating September 2025 as "National Cholesterol Education Month" and September 30, 2025, as "LDL-C Awareness Day".

Make LDL‑C awareness and screening a national priority. The resolution designates September 2025 as National Cholesterol Education Month and September 30, 2025 as LDL‑C Awareness Day and urges people to know their LDL‑C number. It highlights that cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and may increase by 2060, notes rural areas face higher death rates and a 40 percent higher prevalence, and calls LDL‑C a modifiable risk factor. The text cites that more than 25.5 percent of adults have high LDL‑C and that over 200 studies with more than 2,000,000 patients link elevated LDL‑C to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease including heart attacks and strokes. It documents care gaps: 71 percent of high‑risk hypercholesterolemia patients never reach guideline LDL‑C targets, only 33 percent of people with ASCVD on statins meet LDL‑C goals, and just 27 percent of heart attack patients receive an LDL‑C test within 90 days with African‑American adults less likely to be tested. The resolution references the Million Hearts program and recognizes the urgent need for screening and treating elevated LDL‑C to reduce cardiovascular events.
