Go Red — for your heart, your health, your life.
Cardiovascular disease claims more women's lives than the next seven causes of death combined — about 500,000 women's lives a year.
We're doing something about it! The American Heart Association has launched
Go Red For Women, a nationwide campaign to raise awareness that heart disease is women's No. 1 killer. Red is a symbol for women and heart disease. But red is more than a color; it's the power of women — like you — investing in their heart health.
Cardiovascular disease is mostly preventable, so understanding these serious health threats can make a lifesaving difference. Much more research needs to be done on heart disease in women. But there's valuable information available to you now. It's also available for men and children. So be empowered — educate yourself and your family.
Macy's and
Pfizer are proud national sponsors of the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women campaign. In addition, the campaign is brought to you in part by educational grants from the
PacifiCare Foundation and
Bayer Aspirin.
Look for more heart-health information starting in February 2004 — American Heart Month — to find out how you can Go Red!
