Mt. Pleasant, SC -  On National Wear Red Day, February 2, employees and volunteers at East Cooper Regional Medical Center joined groups across the nation in support of the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women movement.  

The movement is designed to raise awareness of heart disease and stroke and to support ongoing research and education about women and heart disease.  Women are given tips and information on healthy eating, exercise and risk factor reduction, such as smoking cessation, weight maintenance, blood pressure control, and blood cholesterol management.
