Go Red For Women

Go Red For Women celebrates the energy, passion and power women have to band together to wipe out heart disease and stroke. Celebrate National Wear Red Day on Feb. 5!



The MSU Red Team, for the Wear Red Day 2010, has formed. Follow This Link to visit the MSU Red Team’s Web page.



Thanks to the participation of millions of people across the country, the color red and the red dress now stand for the ability all women have to improve their heart health and live stronger, longer lives. Today, the near-term goal is nothing less than a 25 percent reduction in coronary heart disease and stroke risk by the year 2010.



As we work toward that goal, we are working hard to change the perception that heart disease is a "man's disease." And it is working! By teaching more women how to talk to their doctors about heart disease, we can save thousands of lives every year. The good news is that heart disease is often preventable!
