Wear Red in February

Take Part and Take Heart Disease Seriously

Friday, Feb. 1, 2013 has been designated “wear red day,” and across the country people will wear red to increase public understanding of heart disease, especially in women.  In East Tennessee, Covenant Health is encouraging women to participate and help us fight heart disease, the #1 killer of American women and men.
