SHOW

Each year, nearly half a million women die
from cardiovascular disease. As stated by
Robin Harper, RN — the founder of the
NHRMC Red Dress event, “Women can’t afford
to wait until symptoms appear. They need
to be empowered with knowledge early on
so they can protect themselves against this
deadly disease.” Proceeds are used to provide
free cholesterol screenings and heart disease
education to help women identify risk factors
so they can be proactive in their health. This
annual event is held on national “Red Dress
Day” in an effort to raise awareness about
women and heart disease. To RSVP contact
Jamie Thompson at (910) 815-5042.
