Tallahassee, FL - Florida Health
invites you to join us in raising awareness about the risk of women’s heart
disease and stroke by participating in National Wear Red Day on Friday, Feb. 5.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in Florida and many forms
of heart disease are highly preventable.
“Heart
disease and stroke shorten the lives of too many Floridians,” said State
Surgeon General and Secretary of Health Dr. John Armstrong. “As we recognize
National Wear Red Day Friday, I encourage you to take part in wearing red and
promoting awareness of steps you can take for cardiovascular health.”
Organized
by the American Heart Association, Wear Red Day falls on the first Friday in
February and has been promoting education and action for heart health for more
than a decade. The department encourages you to wear red on Friday, discuss
your risk for heart disease with your physician and take
action to prevent stroke and heart disease.
