Cardiac nurse Mindy shares why raising awareness for heart health matters—and why we're wearing red every Friday this February.

Heart disease is the second leading cause of death in Maine, but it doesn't have to be inevitable. Small steps can make a big difference in protecting your heart.

Today our Memorial care team celebrated Wear Red Day, and we covered the full spectrum.

We saw fire engine red, cherry red, cranberry, maroon, burgundy, pink, and a few “this looked more red at home” shades. But every one of them carried the same message: raising awareness about heart disease and supporting heart health in our community.

Heart disease doesn’t care what shade you wear, but awareness, prevention, and timely care can make all the difference.

We’re proud of this team, proud to have a little fun together, and proud to care for the hearts of our community every day.
