Go Red For Women Day
Today, many lawmakers partnered with the American Heart Association for the annual Go Red For Women Day at the State House.
This special awareness day is part of the American Heart Association’s efforts to end heart disease and stroke in women and this particular year is significant marking 100 years the AHA has had an impact on raising heart disease awareness.
Cardiovascular disease is the #1 killer of women. Experts say nearly 80% of cardiac events can be prevented, but cardiovascular diseases continue to be a woman’s greatest health threat.
We wore red to support the American Heart Association and bring attention to this issue in hopes of reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Join me in wearing red for #HeartMonth to show your support for American Heart Association -- Massachusetts in the fight against heart disease and stroke.
You could be the difference between life and death for someone experiencing a cardiac event. Be ready to act by learning Hands-Only CPR. Become a member of the #NationofLifesavers at heart.org/nation.
