On the first Friday of every February, which is designated as American Heart Month, the nation comes together, igniting a wave of red from coast to coast. From landmarks to news anchors and neighborhoods to online communities; this annual groundswell unites millions of people for a common goal: the eradication of heart disease and stroke.

Here’s what it means to Go Red:
G: Get Your Numbers
Ask your doctor to check your blood pressure and cholesterol.
O: Own Your Lifestyle
Stop smoking, lose weight, exercise, and eat healthy. It’s up to you. No one can do it for you.
R: Realize Your Risk
We think it won’t happen to us, but heart disease kills one of three women.
E: Educate Your Family
Make healthy food choices for you and your family. Teach your kids the importance of staying active.
D: Don't Be Silent
Tell every woman you know that heart disease is our No. 1 killer.
