FEBRUARY 2008


Womens’ Hearts
February is American Heart Month, and February 1, 2008, was National Wear Red Day. Both are sponsored by the American Heart Association to help raise awareness of heart disease, the number one killer of women (and men). This February, wear red to encourage women to take steps to prevent heart disease; see NAMS educational materials to learn how to reduce your own risk. See also:
