Go Red — for your heart, your health, your life.

Cardiovascular disease claims more women's lives than the next seven causes of death combined — about 500,000 women's lives a year.

We're doing something about it! The American Heart Association has launched Go Red For Women, a nationwide campaign to raise awareness that heart disease is women's No. 1 killer. Red is a symbol for women and heart disease. But red is more than a color; it's the power of women — like you — investing in their heart health.

Cardiovascular disease is mostly preventable, so understanding these serious health threats can make a lifesaving difference. Much more research needs to be done on heart disease in women. But there's valuable information available to you now. It's also available for men and children. So be empowered — educate yourself and your family.

Macy's and Pfizer are proud national sponsors of the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women campaign. In addition, the campaign is brought to you in part by educational grants from the PacifiCare Foundation and Bayer Aspirin.

Choose To Move Choose To Move is a free physical activity program for women that's sponsored by The Almond Board of California. This program shows women how to "choose to move" by exercising regularly, eating healthfully, loving their body, selecting nutritious foods and taking time for themselves. Over the course of the 12-week program, participants will learn how to change their behaviors to incorporate these healthy habits into their lives. more
