Dr. Heather Johnson recently served as the keynote speaker at the 7th Annual National Wear Red Day event at Fountain of Life Church. The goal of the event was to educate African American on the risk factors for cardiovascular disease and lifestyle changes that women can make to reduce their risk. Wear Red Day also included networking and fellowship opportunities. The event was one of many across the nation for American Heart Month, “Go Red for Women.” Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death among American women over the age of 25, and African American women are disproportionately affected.
