#Tough-talking Troy isn’t pitching a new rant on bank fees, instead the focus today is on the American Heart Association’s “GO RED” campaign #nationalwearredday. Every Friday in February credit union staff will don the “RED” to support the initiative, which brings attention to Heart Health Month.
Having a mom who is a 43-year cancer survivor brings this effort right into the spotlight of this hallway. Women of all ages are encouraged to “Heed the RED” and include the proper conversations with health officials annually. According to the CDC website, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States; one in every three deaths is from heart disease and stroke, equal to 2, 200 deaths per day. These conditions are also leading causes of disability preventing people from working and enjoying family activities. Cardiovascular disease is very expensive–together heart disease and stroke hospitalizations in 2010 cost the nation more than $444 billion in health care expenses and lost productivity.
Don’t wait to see “RED” before you take action. Take the online heart health assessment and get the information you need to make intelligent decisions about your heart’s health. We need more grandmas, moms, daughters, sisters, aunts, cousins and granddaughters to make our generational lineage complete.
Tough-talking Troy is all fired up now. He is seeing “RED!” Go tell five women why you want them to live … stop what you’re doing … this is important … right now, GO … you heard me… use the online link… yes, right now … it’s simple!
