EASTERN SHORE–Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women in the United States, and yet many women are not familiar with the symptoms and risk factors. The health departments of Somerset, Wicomico and Worcester counties have teamed up with Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury and Atlantic General Hospital in Berlin to present a heart health event for women to help turn this trend around.
The Go Red event is free and open to the public, and will feature health screenings, a heart-healthy cooking demonstration, success stories, vendors, dinner and door prizes. It will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 5 from 5:30-8 p.m. in the auditorium of the Avery W. Hall Educational Center at Peninsula Regional Medical Center, on the corner of Waverly Drive and Vine Street. Free parking is available in Garage B, located next to the Educational Center building. Register online by Feb. 3 at www.wicomicohealth.org, or call 410-334-3480.
Women are encouraged to attend this free event to learn ways to keep their hearts healthy. Don’t forget to wear red — the official color for raising awareness about heart disease in women.
