February is "American Heart Month" - Go Red for Women

Statement

This February marks the 50th anniversary of Congress designating February as American Heart Month. Today, we've made significant progress in reducing the number of deaths from heart disease, but it still remains the number one killer of both women in men.

Heart disease - did you know:

This disease causes 1 in 3 deaths in women each year.
This disease kills more women than men at an average rate of one death per minute.
This disease kills more women than all kinds of cancer combined.

As part of American Heart Month, today is National Wear Read Day to bring awareness to heart disease and its impact on women's health. You can learn more by visiting here, or take a heart health check up to learn more and assess your risk for heart disease.
