As a nurse, I understand how cardiovascular disease affects individuals and families. I have also seen the positive impact the American Heart Association has made on the fight against these diseases. Healthcare practitioners, such as myself, follow clinical practice guidelines to ensure appropriate, adequate and safe care for patients. The American Heart Association has been leading the way in promoting in-hospital quality improvement in cardiac care.
The American Heart Association is also a leader in funding research that helps us better understand, prevent and treat heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases.
Join us at the Go Red For Women Luncheon to learn more about the American Heart Association and to support its efforts, particularly to fight heart disease, the number-one killer of women.
Until then, I encourage you to learn and understand your own risks, and take action to keep your heart healthy. By being a responsible advocate for your health and your family’s, you become a part of the cure.
Remember, it’s our hearts, our choice. o
Money raised at the Go Red For Women Luncheon will help fund research that will allow better understanding of heart disease and stroke in women, and pave the way for better methods of treating and preventing cardiovascular diseases. Research funded by the American Heart Association over the years has yielded many important lifesaving discoveries, including CPR, life-extending drugs, pacemakers, bypass surgery and surgical techniques to repair heart defects.

Heart disease and stroke are the number-one and number-threee killers in America. These and other cardiovascular diseases kill approximately 450,000 women each year – that’s about one woman every minute.
