In February, We GO RED for Women's Heart Health! ???? Did you know that cardiovascular disease is the #1 killer of women in the U.S.? It’s a silent threat, but together, we can raise awareness and take action. We're celebrating NeShana Bilbrew, RN and fellow alumni who gathered at the Go Red Luncheon to take a stand against heart disease. Their support helps spread the message that heart health matters—and that every woman deserves to know her risk and take charge of her well-being. #GoRedForWomen #HeartHealth #BestClassEver
