Fact: Women are more vulnerable to heart disease than men In fact, heart disease in women is more deadly than all forms of cancer — combined. Yet only one in five women believes that heart disease is her greatest health threat. That’s why the American Heart Association established its signature women’s initiative, Go Red for Women — to encourage awareness of the issue along with action to save more lives. The movement harnesses the energy, passion and power women have to band together and collectively wipe out heart disease. AdventHealth is a proud sponsor of the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women movement in Kansas City. For more information, visit GoRedForWomen.org.
On National Wear Red Day, team members at AdventHealth Shawnee Mission and AdventHealth South Overland Park decked out in their red to show support and raise awareness of cardiovascular disease. Throughout Heart Month, and every month, we focus on preventive measures that our community can take to prevent cardiac events and take charge of their heart health. 6 | AdventHealth | SPRING 2022
