National Wear Red Day for women’s heart health Friday

LIMA — The American Heart Association’s “Go Red for Women” campaign is encouraging the public to wear red Friday for National Wear Red Day in support of women’s heart health.

Heart disease and stroke cause one in three deaths for women every year, but the association stresses that 80 percent of these deaths can be prevented with education and lifestyle changes.
