Go Red For Women is the American Heart Association’s campaign to raise awareness among women about heart disease, a leading cause of death for women.

“Heart disease is a serious problem,” said Senator Jehlen. “Through this event, we have shown our solidarity in the fight against the leading cause of death among the women of the Commonwealth.”

“This is an extremely important issue and I was happy to take part in this event,” said Representative Garballey. “This event is about saving lives and educating women across the Commonwealth on how they can reduce their personal risk and live a heart healthy life.”
