Join us this February for Red Dress Sunday as we raise awareness about heart disease, the
leading cause of death for women and encourage healthy heart habits in our community.
What is Red Dress Sunday?
Red Dress Sunday is a faith-based health awareness initiative held during American Heart Month. Churches and congregations wear red to bring attention to women’s heart health, share lifesaving education, and encourage prevention.
Ways to Participate
WEAR RED TO SHOW SUPPORT
Put on your favorite red dress to stand in solidarity. Wearing red is a powerful visual statement that raises awareness and shows your commitment to heart health education and prevention.
GET TIPS FOR HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CHANGES
Small, consistent changes can make a big difference in heart health. Explore practical tips on nutrition, physical activity, stress management, and preventive care that fit into your daily routine.
LEARN HEART HEALH RISK FACTORS
Use this day as a reminder to book a wellness visit, check your blood pressure, review your cholesterol levels, and talk with your healthcare provider about your heart health risks.
PARTICIPATE IN SCREENINGS
Take advantage of available heart health screenings to know your numbers. Blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, and body mass index (BMI) checks can help identify risk factors early.
Why This Matters
Heart disease affects women of all ages and backgrounds and too often warning signs are missed or misunderstood. Red Dress Sunday helps communities learn the signs, reduce risk, and prioritize heart health.
Red Dress Sunday shines a spotlight on heart disease—the leading cause of death for women. Too often, heart disease is seen as a “man’s issue,” which can delay awareness, prevention, and treatment for women. This day brings communities together to educate, empower, and encourage proactive heart health.
By wearing red and participating in events, we spark important conversations about prevention, early detection, and healthy lifestyle choices. Red Dress Sunday reminds women to know their numbers, recognize symptoms, and advocate for their health.
Awareness leads to action. Action saves lives. ❤️
