Go Red for Women® Learn About the Real Women
Go Red for Women’s Real Women Class of Survivors serve as champions for women’s heart health. They share their stories of survival to raise awareness of heart disease and stroke in women and inspire others to take charge of their own health.
The American Heart Association’s signature women’s initiative, Go Red for Women, is a comprehensive platform designed to increase women’s heart health awareness and serve as a catalyst for change to improve the lives of women globally.
It’s no longer just about wearing red; it’s no longer just about sharing heart health facts. It’s about all women making a commitment to stand together with Go Red and taking charge of their own heart health as well as the health of those they can’t bear to live without. Making a commitment to your health isn’t something you have to do alone either, so grab a friend or a family member and Go Red today.
Women Need CPR, Too
Only about 39% of women receive CPR from bystanders in public compared to 45% of men. Brittany Williams and Sharell Weeams were two of the lucky ones whose lives were saved by CPR after they suddenly collapsed in public.
Best Friend Fridays
Research shows pet companionship is associated with overall better health and well-being. Multiple heart attack survivor Dina Pinelli credits her dog Ananda with helping to save her life and keeping her healthy. Share how your pet helps you stay healthy on social media each Friday this summer using #BestFriendFridays.
Make Your Mental Well-being a Priority
Overall wellness includes both physical and mental health. Learn how the 2023 Real Women Class of Survivors prioritize their mental well-being and get resources for managing your own.
Mom Life
Moms, grandmothers, aunts and other maternal figures do so much for their families. But this can mean taking care of their health sometimes comes last. We’re here to help these special people support their health and well-being at every stage of motherhood.
