WEDNESDAY WORD: Wear Red

Prevent Heart Disease, Win Prizes

Women are masterful multi-taskers. Yet juggling family schedules, managing household details, supervising kids' schoolwork, and preparing for daily conference calls leave many women scarce time to prioritize their own health. And constant stress takes a toll on the heart.

Heart disease is the number one killer of women—it takes more lives than all forms of cancer combined. The good news is heart disease is often preventable. Don't wait until you or a loved one have a heart emergency to know your risk and take action. For more information on heart disease prevention, visit bjc.org/heart-health.
