We Went Red for Women

On May 22, over 350 guests attended the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women Luncheon nationally sponsored by CVS Health and locally sponsored by MUSC Health, Blackbaud, Roper St. Francis Healthcare and The InterTech Group. Attendees wore their favorite red attire and enjoyed a fashion show, silent auction, heart-healthy lunch, keynote by Dr. Melissa Milanak and much more. The annual luncheon raises awareness and funds to support women’s cardiovascular research, education, awareness and advocacy initiatives. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women. Since 2004, the Go Red for Women movement has addressed cardiovascular disease awareness and clinical care gaps for women.
