The Heart Truth Celebrates Its 10th Anniversary

"In 2012, The Heart Truth® marks a decade of commitment to women's heart health. Starting with February's American Heart Month and throughout the year, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) reaffirms its commitment to increasing awareness about heart disease among women and helping women take steps to reduce their own personal risk of developing heart disease.

One of the campaign's signature American Heart Month activities, The Heart Truth's Red Dress Collection Fashion Show, kicked off this milestone year with the generous support of celebrities and the fashion community to spotlight the Red Dress as the national symbol of women and heart disease awareness. While millions of women have been reached with NHLBI's heart health message as a result of Red Dress Collection 2012, the real "heart" of the campaign—hundreds of Heart Truth partners, Champions, and individuals—will organize events and activities across the country to spread The Heart Truth." in http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/educational/hearttruth/
