2012 Go Red for Women
February 17, 2012

Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the United States? It kills nearly half a million women each year at the rate of about one per minute. They are our sisters, mothers, daughters, friends, neighbors and colleagues.

Yet, there is hope. Inside every woman is the power to live a longer, stronger life. The American Heart Association's Go Red For Women® movement seeks to provide women with the tools and resources they need to reduce their risk for heart disease and stroke.

The Cleveland Go Red For Women Health Expo & Luncheon is a life-changing experience that focuses on three areas to support the fight against heart disease in women: heightening awareness of the issue, creating a passionate call-to-action and generating funds to support education and research. Included in the day was a health expo, health screenings, breakout sessions and a silent auction.
