Saint Joseph Berea Hosts
Go Red For Women Heart Health Luncheon

Berea, Ky. (February 5, 2016)— As part of the national effort to increase awareness of heart disease in women, Saint Joseph Berea, part of KentuckyOne Health, and the American Heart Association will host a Go Red for Women Lunch & Learn event on Tuesday, Feb. 16 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Berea College Baird Lounge.

Heart disease is the number one killer of women, but only one in five American women believes that heart disease is her greatest health threat. A staggering 90 percent of women have one or more risk factors for developing heart disease.

Preregistration and free health screenings will begin at 11:30 a.m. Free screenings will include cholesterol, blood glucose, blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen saturation.
