My current career position has me in health communications, or something like that. Anyhow, I've been interested and involved in public health for sometime now, even getting my undergrad degree in it (go terps!). So I wanted to put this notice out there in cyberspace for anyone who comes across it. It's a very important subject:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Join Americans nationwide on Friday, February 3, 2006 to celebrate the third annual National Wear Red Day. Wearing red shows your support for women's heart disease awareness. So take women's health to heart by wearing your Red Dress Pin, the national symbol for women and heart disease awareness. Or show off a favorite red dress, shirt, or tie and help spread the word that heart disease is the #1 killer of American women. Unfortunately many women do not realize they are at risk for heart disease. That's why the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and its partners sponsor The Heart Truth—a national awareness campaign for women about heart disease. Use The Heart Truth tools below to get ready for National Wear Red Day 2006 and make a difference in women's lives in your community.

This goes out to all the ladies - please take care of yourselves.
