Who: The American Heart Association’s “Go Red For Women” Initiative, Meharry Medical College, and the Center for Women’s Health Research.
What: A breakfast gathering to celebrate and raise awareness of the importance of women’s heart health in every community. ** This is a free event. Complimentary breakfast to be provided.
Where: The Cal Turner Family Center at Meharry Medical College 1011 21st Ave. North, Nashville, TN 37208
When: Saturday, February 24, 2018 9:00 am – 11:00 am
Why: Cardiovascular diseases kill nearly 1 in 3 women each year. That’s about one woman every 80 seconds but the good news is that 80% of cardiovascular diseases may be preventable through lifestyle changes and education. Through community events like this one, we can educate people about their risk for heart disease and stroke, encourage them to share their knowledge with loved ones, and work together to save lives.
