Join us on Friday, February 4 for National Wear Red Day to promote awareness of women’s heart health.
Cardiovascular disease is responsible for the death of 1 in 4 Americans. While it impacts both men and women, many women are not aware of their risks. Heart & vascular disease is responsible for the death of 1 in 3 women, which is more than all cancers combined. To promote awareness, we wear red to encourage conversation about heart health, risks and symptoms with the women in your life.
If you have pictures of you and your co-workers wearing red on February 4th, please send them to [email protected] so we can share them.
