Since 2023, Lambda Theta Alpha is a proud partner with the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute’s (NHLBI) The Heart Truth®, the first federally-sponsored health education program in the nation. Launched in 2002, the program raises awareness about heart disease and its risk factors and encourages heart-healthy living behaviors.
As the first Latina sorority to join The Heart Truth® Healthy Hearts Network, Lambda Theta Alpha is committed to help drive outreach efforts and increase awareness among women between the ages of 25-39, especially African American and Latina women who are most at risk of heart disease.
WHY WE WALK
Heart disease is still the no. 1 killer and stroke ranks no. 5 in our nation. Over 60 million women (44%) in the United States are living with some form of heart disease. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the United States and can affect women at any age. In 2021, it was responsible for the deaths of 310,661 women—or about 1 in every 5 female deaths.
