GO RED this Friday February 7, 2020.

Did you know that February is designated as American Heart Month? On the first Friday of the month, men and women from all walks of life across the nation, at their places of work, in their communities, on social media rally together wearing red for a common purpose. That purpose is to ELIMINATE heart disease and stroke. Heart disease is no longer just a man's disease. 1 in 3 women dies of heart disease and stroke each year. What does it mean to Go Red For Women by the American Heart Association:

G: Get your numbers. Ask your doctor to check your blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

O: Own your lifestyle: Experts recommend stop smoking, lose weight, exercise, and eat healthy.

R: Realize your risk: Think it won't happen to you? Heart disease kills one of three women.

E: Educate your family: Make healthy food choices for you and your family.

D: Don't be silent: Tell every woman you know that heart disease is our No. 1 killer.
