GOOD FOR YOUR HEART

AND

GOOD FOR THE HEART

OF YOUR BUSINESS

deaths in women than ALL

FORMS OF CANCER COMBINED.

One in two women

will be diagnosed

with heart disease in

her lifetime…

And one in three

will die

4

…but only one in five

think they’re

personally at risk.

More than 90% of primary

care physicians

don’t know that heart

disease kills more women

each year than men.

This is Our Solution –
