1 killer in the U.S. and the First Coast American Heart Association is launching a new initiative called Women of Impact.
Kate Mays, division president at CSI Healthcare IT and chair of the Women of Impact initiative said it is part of the Go Red for Women campaign and is all about raising awareness and challenging women on the First Coast to take charge of their health.
The eight-week campaign that launches on March 16 includes 10 influential women in the community who will form impact teams to help raise funds and challenge the community to better their own heart health.
Some of the women will be hosting yoga classes, cooking classes and much more to raise funds and awareness.
The winner of the competition will be announced at the Go Red for Women luncheon on May 14.
