"Go Red" for Women is the American Heart Association’s national call to increase awareness and help prevent heart disease, the number one killer of American women.  This is a call for women, to take charge of their well-being and live stronger, healthier lives.  
 
The statistics make it clear that awareness is important. Ninety percent of women have one or more risk factors for developing heart disease. Only one in five women believes that heart disease is her greatest health risk. Eighty percent of cardiac events in women could be prevented if women made the right choices for their hearts. Join in the mission to increase awareness and help prevent heart disease in women today!
 
The National Philoptochos Society promotes the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women campaign. Improve awareness by sharing information with your Philoptochos sisters, your parish community and all the women you know and love.  The American Heart Association has designated Friday, February 1, 2019 as National Wear Red Day.  In support of this program, The National Philoptochos Society is designating Sunday, February 3, 2019 as Go Red Sunday and are asking Philoptochos sisters across the country to join the movement and wear red, when attending Church services.
