Health is personal. Confounding. And often lonely. Plus, with gaps in research, treatment and funding, women have been undercounted and under-supported. But there is one source of support they can count on, each other. Women connect with other women for information, motivation and inspiration. So, let's facilitate and further this support system – the power of community to create better health outcomes for all women. Let’s Go Red, Together!
Join us on Friday, October 10th at the Central Bank Center for our 2025 Go Red for Women Experience.
Hey Georgetown and Scott County friends! Join us at the Scott County Heart Walk on Saturday, September 13 at Georgetown Community Hospital to honor survivors of heart disease and stroke.
Reason to Believe:
9 out of 10 people who suffer cardiac arrest outside the hospital die. In most of those cases, bystander CPR was not performed. But we can change this. It's time to unite, take action, and save lives.
The American Heart Association invites YOU to join the Heart Walk to broaden our impact by turning bystanders into lifesavers.
Every walker who joins, every dollar donated, means more research, more people trained in lifesaving CPR, and more lifesaving moments for everyone.
He was mid-stride when it happened. A stroke at 31. Odds were, he might not walk again, but Brady Johnson had other plans.
Step by step, rep by rep, he rebuilt what was lost… then added more. Today, he’s not just walking. He’s lifting. Competing. Winning. Standing center stage with medals around his neck and purpose in his step.
Get your blood pressure checked at least once a year and understand what the numbers mean. Severe high blood pressure combined with symptoms such as chest pain or trouble speaking may be a hypertensive emergency, according to the new high blood pressure guideline, and you should call 911 immediately.
Here are the top 10 things everyone should know about blood pressure, from what the numbers mean to how you can keep yours in check. Check them out here: http://spr.ly/6185fszVZ

Waiting for The Life of a Showgirl? Same!
In the meantime, we're replaying one of our favorite Taylor songs that matches the rhythm you need for Hands-Only CPR, like Fearless (Taylor's Version) at 104 BPM. 🧡
