Brandon Regional Hospital is proud to support Go Red for Women - the American Heart Association's nationwide campaign to raise awareness of heart disease as women's number one killer. Heart disease and stroke are largely preventable, so helping women understand these serious health threats can make a lifesaving difference.
What is Go Red for Women?
Go Red for Women is about YOU! It's about empowering women to take charge of their heart health and live longer, stronger, healthier lives. Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women in the United States, but women can fight back. Knowledge is power - and Go Red for Women gives you vital information you need to lower your risk of heart disease.
Throughout the year the American Heart Association and HCA West Florida will work together to teach women about their risk for heart disease, and empower them to take charge of their heart's health.

Red Facts
Cardiovascular disease, including stroke, claims more women's lives that the next seven causes of death combined - nearly 500,000 a year, twice as many as all forms of cancer. You can do a lot to prevent cardiovascular disease and stroke. It begins by learning all you can about these serious health threats and working to reduce your risks. More research needs to be done on heart disease and stroke in women, but we already can share a lot of life-enhancing information. Education yourself and your family. Then do something about it.
