National Wear Red Day | Friday, February 7
Wear red to raise awareness about heart disease and remind everyone to prioritize their heart health!
National Wear Red Day is a powerful reminder of the importance of heart health and a time to bring awareness to heart disease—the leading cause of death for Americans. Wearing red unites us in the fight against cardiovascular disease and shows support for those impacted by it. Join us in the lobby for our member appreciation table, where you can grab a red ribbon, a fresh apple, and free literature from the American Heart Association and the Elfers Cardiovascular Center at MGB Newton Wellesley Hospital on preventing heart disease.
