Home MenuGo Red for Women - February 6, 2026
Each year on February 6, we come together for Go Red for Women Day to raise awareness about women’s heart health. Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women—taking more lives than all forms of cancer combined. In the United States, cardiovascular disease causes about 1 in 3 women’s deaths every year and kills hundreds of thousands of women annually.
Nearly 45 % of women ages 20 and older are living with some form of heart disease—yet less than half of women recognize heart disease as their greatest health threat.
Go Red for Women Day encourages women and allies to wear red, share life-saving facts, and take action—whether that means learning your personal risk, making healthy lifestyle changes, or talking with your healthcare provider.
Join SDHD staff in wearing red on Feb 6. Together, we can change the conversation, confront the statistics, and help protect women’s hearts everywhere. ❤️
