Working together to improve women's heart health

For more than a decade, Main Line Health has served as the American Heart Association's Philadelphia Goes Red for Women sponsor.

The American Heart Association and Main Line Health are uniquely positioned to provide women with new strategies and solutions that empower them to have longer, healthier lives. Go Red and Main Line Health remain focused on emerging areas of research that may influence a woman's risk for heart disease and stroke including maternal health, mental well-being, COVID-19, equal representation in clinical trials and the social determinants of health. As we look ahead, we work to ensure that all women are aware, are empowered and are provided with equitable health care.

Over the past 17 years, Go Red for Women has funded life-saving women's research, advanced public health policy, championed closing gender gaps in research and STEM and created a platform for women to address their greatest health risk—cardiovascular disease. Go Red has had a profound impact on women's health and will continue remove the barriers women face to achieving good health and well-being and continue to be a champion for women and women's health.

The Women's Heart Initiative, Main Line Health's comprehensive women's heart program is specifically dedicated to community education and awareness about women's heart care. Our goal is to empower women to Learn, Act, and Live—to help women recognize the warning signs and unique risk factors of heart disease, encourage them to have open discussions with their physicians about their heart care, and live a heart healthy life. Together we strive for a future that includes earlier detection of heart disease in women and women-centric research to help improve treatments and outcomes.
