Go Red for Women!!

National Wear Red Day is February 1, 2013. This day is dedicated to raising awareness that heart disease is the #1 killer of women and promoting heart health. Please join us in showing your support by wearing red on Friday, February 1st.


We've made significant progress, but we have far to go .Here's why:

• One woman in three dies of heart disease
• More women's lives are taken by heart disease than all cancers combined
• Heart disease kills more women than men

Ninety percent of women have one or more risk factors for developing heart disease. Heart disease risk factors for women are high cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking, obesity, lack of physical activity, stress, age, race, and family history of heart disease.
