Hello Lady Theresa! Congratulations on being voted as Leading Lady in Go Red for Women - that is so exciting and I'd love to hear more!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write. I couldn't agree with you more, especially on the need for more education and testing in rural areas. Most of my family still lives in a very rural area of Texas and I've observed a real lack of health screenings/health fairs, along with limited choice of physicians. Heart disease runs in my birth family but i have a brother who is African-American and a sister who is Hispanic. I began exploring the role of ethnicity and heart disease because I wanted to know how to tell my sister to protect her heart health as well.
It sounds like you and I are on the same page! Please write again and let me know if there are Go Red events we should be aware of.
