Go Red For Women (GRFW) is the American Heart Association’s national movement, created by women, for women, dedicated to uncovering the truth about women and heart disease – an often silent, hidden and misunderstood killer – so that all women can share the truth. Go Red For Women is a powerful platform that gives women a fighting chance against heart disease. Currently, some eight million women in the U.S. are living with heart disease, yet only one in six American women believe that heart disease is her greatest health threat.
This is the signature event of the Go Red For Women movement – their most celebrated annual event with over 500 people in attendance! Get informed about the risks of heart disease and stroke. Know the red flags. Know your heart health story. Go Red For Women inspires women to make lifestyle changes, mobilize communities, and shape policies to save lives. United, we are working to improve the health of women in your community.
“The facts are clear: heart disease and stroke cause 1 in 3 deaths among women each year – more than all cancers combined. The good news is that 80 percent of cardiac and stroke events may be prevented with education and action,” said David Katz, MD, MPH, FACPM, FACP, the keynote speaker of this year’s event.
