Go Red for Women encourages awareness of the issue of women and heart disease, and also action to save more lives. The movement harnesses the energy, passion and power women have to band together and collectively wipe out heart disease. It challenges them to know their risk for heart disease and take action to reduce their personal risk. It also gives them the tools they need to lead a heart healthy life.

Texas Health has been a local supporter of the Go Red for Women movement since 2011. We share these stories of real women facing the challenges of cardiovascular disease and stroke.
