I'm proud to be on a team of changemakers making a real impact on the state of women's health.
My dear friend since childhood, Tara Moser, is a survivor and has a beautiful heart story to share of her successful surgery last year; I am so proud of her for having the courage to share her story and reach out bring awareness and save lives...she truly is a Woman of Impact! I am honored to be a member of her team!
Heart health also touches my heart and that of my family's very directly...awareness and interventions are key and have saved lives of those I love so very dearly. Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy runs through our family and has touched many of our lives directly. I am extremely grateful for life-saving measures that have been taken both in emergencies and pre-emptively to give us all more time together. Heart health impacts our family so closely, as it does for so many others, as well!
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.
Heart disease unfairly targets women, who have been left out of research, testing, treatment and funding. Women have been underrepresented, undertreated and undercounted. But it doesn't have to be this way. Because there's one source of support women can always count on - each other.
Together, we can engage more women in research. We can fight for access to care and treatments. And 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.
It's not just about wearing red. It's not just about sharing heart health facts. It's about all women connecting and committing to stand together against our greatest health threat.
