HeartScreen America Donates Heart Screening Services at the Go Red for Women Luncheon in Boston

Boston, MA – 02 Feb 2007:  HeartScreen America of Andover, Massachusetts announced its donation of heart screening services for the Go Red For Women Luncheon in Boston, MA. The Go Red for Women Luncheon is part of the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women movement and will be held on Wednesday, February 7th, 2007 at the Westin Waterfront Hotel in Boston, MA.

The Go Red for Women Luncheon takes a critical step toward raising women’s awareness that heart disease is their number one cause of death. Women who understand their risks of heart disease, and know the steps to prevent it, are better equipped to avert this serious – and mostly preventable – threat to their health.

HeartScreen America is pleased to be able to offer their heart screenings at no cost to this year’s luncheon participants. “We at HeartScreen America understand the value of identifying risk factors associated with heart disease, and we are happy to be able to provide screenings for the Boston Go Red For Women Luncheon,” said Bert Vining, the President of HeartScreen America. “HeartScreen America screens hearts to save lives, and we hope that we can help educate women about how to take control of their heart health”.

The Luncheon is an event that mixes education, passion for the cause and a fun and entertaining fashion show. This year there will also be morning breakout sessions on health and wellness, nutrition, and other “hot” topics relating to women. Additionally, women are encouraged to obtain a heart health screening, which will include measuring total and HDL cholesterol, blood glucose, blood pressure, and BMI provided by HeartScreen America. The results are given on-site and include counseling. After the luncheon, women are encouraged to register their results and take the Go Red Heart Checkup at www.goredforwomen.com.
