Thank you for your generosity by contributing to this campaign!
Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer of women. The American Heart Association Go Red for Women movement's Woman of Impact campaign is working to change that.
This movement sits close to my own heart because of my work as a cardiology physician assistant. I specialize in advanced heart failure within the UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute. With my incredible team, we are able to care for patients with all severities and complexities of heart failure and help restore meaningful quality to their lives. I find great fulfilment in that. However, this specialized care, particularly for women, can only advance with more research.
When I think about the future of health care, I think about my young daughter and want to create a future for her in which the standard of care for women is excellence.
Heart disease unfairly targets women, who have been left out of research, testing, and funding. Women have been underrepresented, undertreated, and undercounted for too long.
By supporting this campaign, together, we can engage more women in research and create avenues for access to better care. We can be a catalyst to create health solutions with women's unique health needs in mind, supporting them through every age, stage, and season of life.
This campaign is all about women connecting and committing to stand together against our greatest health threat.
The time is now. To support my campaign, please click the Donate button.
