Recently, members of the Lynchburg VA Chapter of The Links, Incorporated, proudly wore red in recognition of American Heart Month and our continued commitment to promoting heart health awareness in our community.

Facebook family, heart disease remains the leading cause of death for women, yet it is largely preventable through education, early detection, healthy lifestyle choices, and routine medical care. As women of service and impact, we understand that caring for our hearts allows us to continue caring for our families, our communities, and one another.

Through our Health and Human Services Facet, we encourage our Facebook followers to:
❤️ Know your numbers (blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose)
❤️ Move your body daily, even a little bit helps
❤️ Choose heart-healthy meals, or just cut back a little
❤️ Manage stress, your life deserves peace and moments of relaxation
❤️ Schedule regular checkups and attend those appointments

Wearing red is more than a statement — it’s a reminder that our health matters.

Let’s continue to uplift, educate, and empower one another to live heart-healthy lives.
