Reminder: National "Wear Red for Women" Day

February 4th, people around the nation are encouraged to "Go Red for Women."

Every year, the American Heart Association asks people to wear red on National Wear Red Day to raise awareness for cardiovascular disease in women.

Cardiovascular disease, a largely preventable disease, kills approximately 500,000 women each year. More women die of cardiovascular disease than the next five causes of death combined, including all forms of cancer.
