Heart disease is the number one killer of people in the United States, and the leading cause of death globally. It is also the leading cause of death among women in the U.S., something that less than 50% of women realize.
In conjunction with American Heart Month, this episode features sudden cardiac arrest survivor Delya Sommerville and WomenHeart CEO Celina Gorre. Together, they share powerful personal stories, highlight the urgent need to improve women’s heart health, and offer a message of hope grounded in community, advocacy and prevention.
Tune in for ways employers can better assess the impact of their health and well-being programs to understand if they are meeting women’s needs today and in the future.
