Make It Your Mission to Fight Heart Disease in Women

Go Red For Women® celebrates the energy, passion and power we have as women to band together to wipe out heart disease and stroke.

Women & Cardiovascular Disease

Heart disease is the number #1 killer of women.  Yet only 1 in 5 American women believe that heart disease is her greatest health threat.  Heart disease and stroke account for 29.2% of all female deaths in Wisconsin.

Studies show that making healthy choices have resulted in 330 fewer women dying from heart disease per day.  A few of these changes include:
- Don't smoke
- Manage your blood sugar
- Keep your blood pressure under control
- Lower your cholesterol
- Know your family history
- Stay active
- Lose weight or maintain a healthy weight
- Eat healthy

Heart disease is still the No. 1 killer of women, taking the life of 1 in 3 women each year. This means women just like you - mothers, sisters, friends - are dying at the rate of one per minute because they don't know what you know: heart disease kills.

Women have come together here in the fight against heart disease in women. Take your seat at the table with dedicated women and men just like you. Hear their survivor stories, learn how heart disease affects a family and how you can help stop heart disease in our lifetime. Share our mission to fight the No. 1 killer of women.

Make It Your Mission to fight heart disease in women. By sharing this commitment, together we can help save lives. Be a part of this extraordinary day.
