Agenda

Mission Statement/Content

Nothing kills more women in America each year than Heart Disease. The sad part is, many people don't even realize it.  

During February, Heart Disease Awareness month, we hope use emotional, personal stories to encourage women to take action.

This isn't just a section, it's a movement to fundamentally change how women view heart disease. 

Content:This section will feature eight, personal emotional video vignettes of women who've survived heart disease.

The videos will be grouped in an engaging interactive  element. 

The section also includes dozens of feature stories about risk, research and prevention of heart disease in women in affiliation with the American Heart Association and Blood Lung Institute.

Research: Why a new year’s section?

Why focus on women?  

• Since 1979, the death rate for heart disease in men has declined by more than 17 percent, but the death rate for women has declined by only 2.5 percent over this same period.

• In 2006, only 57 percent of women knew that heart disease was the most deadliest health risk in the U.S.

• A women's risk of heart disease increases each year she ages

• Heart disease kills more women than the next five causes of death combined

• More than 90 percent of primary care physicians don’t know that heart disease kills more women each year than men. (American Heart Association)

•  "Women's Heart Disease" is searched on Google 26 times more than the term "Men's Heart Disease" each month
