Go Red for Women

San Diego Circle of Red

Go Red for Women is the American Heart Association ’ s ( AHA ) signature initiative to raise awareness that heart disease is women ’ s greatest health threat and to empower them to take action to lower their risk .

Since 2004 , Go Red for Women has had a profound impact on women ’ s health and continues to be a champion for women . To remove barriers to good
heart health and well-being , Go Red for Women raises awareness among women , empowers women to take charge of their health , engages more women in research and STEM and addresses inequities in access and quality of care .
It is not just about wearing red . It is not just about sharing heart-health facts . It is about all women standing together with Go Red for Women - because 1 in 3 women die from heart disease . And losing even one woman is too many .
