This February, the Mohawk Valley quite literally showed its heart. Buildings, businesses, and organizations across the region lit up in red in a powerful show of unity for National Wear Red Day, raising awareness for women’s heart health and the impact of cardiovascular disease.
“National Wear Red Day raises awareness about cardiovascular disease, the No. 1 killer of women,” said Heather Evans, executive director of the American Heart Association – Central New York. “This year, nearly 100 businesses and organizations across the Mohawk Valley participated by wearing red or glowing red. Wear Red Day shares a message of hope and solidarity, encouraging women to prioritize their health and wellbeing. Throughout Heart Month this February, we’re also encouraging everyone to learn Hands-Only CPR so they can be the help until help arrives.”
From glowing landmarks to offices dressed in red, the message was unmistakable. Awareness saves lives, and community action matters. Together, the Mohawk Valley proved that when it comes to heart health, showing up locally can make a lasting impact.
