TWU Health Studies: Go Red for Women 2013

TWU Go Red for Women 2013

On Tuesday, February 5th, 2013, Texas Woman's University will join the American Heart Association (AHA)’s fight against heart disease with a lunch screening of “Just a Little Heart Attack” accompanied by a panel discussion and a Wear Red Day campus photo immediately following the panel. We encourage everyone to participate by wearing red to campus on February 5th to help the AHA raise women’s awareness of cardiovascular disease and empower women to reduce their risk.

We are proud to be joining the AHA and concerned companies and organizations across America in the fight against the #1 killer of women – as well as of men. Wear Red Day is a chance for us to arm ourselves with knowledge about this devastating disease and to raise awareness that will help the AHA advance its research and education efforts. Learn more about the national cause to increase awareness and help women reduce their risk of heart disease at GoRedForWomen.org. Find more online health resources at http://mylifecheck.heart.org/.
