National Wear Red Day Friday!
When you think of heart disease, you probably think of men, but it's actually the #1 killer of women in the country.
Tomorrow, businesses and individuals are asked to wear red to bring awareness to women's heart health.
Dr. Don Chomsky from Saint Thomas Heart joins us this morning.
Heart disease is the #1 killer of women age 20 and up.
It kills about 1 woman every minute, 450,000 each year.
It kills more than the next 5 causes of death combined.
90% of women have more than 1 risk factor.
You can show your support to raise awareness of heart disease and take action to stop it by wearing red this Friday.
