Advocate
Heart disease in women requires more attention, more research and swifter action.
You don’t have to be a heart surgeon to make a difference. You don’t have to be an elected official to bring about change. We all have a voice, and when we come together as one voice, we can rise above all the rest. Together, women are an unstoppable force. Together, women can accomplish anything.
The American Heart Association and Go Red for Women advocate each and every day for common sense public health policies that make it easier to get active, eat better and gain safe access to the things we all need to experience good health and well-being. Find out how you can lend your voice and make an impact today!
