February 4th is National Wear Red Day®️
Go Red for Women is a platform dedicated to raising awareness about women’s heart risk and to inspiring women to take charge of their heart health
Cardiovascular disease claims the lives of nearly 500,00 American women each year, yet the disease is still identified as a man’s disease. Join us in raising awareness and encouraging all women to take charge of their health.
