National Wear Red Day is a day in February when many people wear red to show their support for the awareness of heart disease. Everyone can participate in the national movement by wearing their favorite red dress, shirt, tie, or Red Dress Pin on Friday, February 3, 2012.
Heart disease is the #1 killer of women and most women fail to make the connections between heart disease risk factors and their personal risk of developing the disease.” The Division of Family Health will offer blood pressure screenings from 9:00 AM until 2:00 PM in the Town Hall lobby, where red dress pins, information about risk factors for heart disease and healthy nutrition will also be distributed. In addition, public health nurses will be available upstairs (3rd floor) from 2:30 3:30 PM in the hypertension clinic.
The American Heart Association sponsors national Wear Red Day. For more information about Women’s Heart Health and National Wear Red Day, call 203-622-6495 at the Greenwich Department of Health or online at www.greenwichct.org or www.goredforwomen.org.
