When: Thursday, February 26, 2015 9:00 AM-1:00 PM Where: Hyatt Regency ~ Zilker Ballroom 208 Barton Springs Road Austin, TX 78704 WHY: For 12 years, women have been fighting heart disease individually and together as part of the Go Red For Women movement. More than 627,000 women’s lives have been saved, but the fight is far from over. Heart disease and stroke are still the leading cause of death for women - it affects more women than men and is more deadly than all forms of cancer combined. By raising awareness on prevention and symptoms, women are being saved every day.
