PartnerShip Goes Red For Women!

02/06/2015 — PartnerShip

February 6^th was National Wear Red Day and the staff of PartnerShip did just that to support The American Heart Association’s “Go Red For Women” campaign.

As a business, we don’t usually like to be in the red, but this was an exception, as our staff donned red to help encourage awareness of the issue of women and heart disease, and to help save lives.

Historically, heart disease has been predominantly associated with men and men have been the subjects of most of the research done to understand heart disease, leading to a heart disease and risk.

Because women have been largely ignored in research, their awareness of their risk of heart disease has suffered. In fact, only 55 percent of women realize heart disease is their No. 1 killer, and less than that know what are considered healthy levels blood pressure and cholesterol. “Go Red For Women” is trying to make sure women know they are at risk so they can take action to protect their health.

Partnership is proud to help “Go Red For Women.”
