Vestido Rojo: The Red Dress

As part of national heart month Baptist Health System is excited to provide FREE health screenings for women at the Vestido Rojo conference.

Vestido Rojo means red dress in Spanish and this is the symbol for the American Heart Association's movement for women called "Go Red for Women." Did you know that heart disease is the number one cause of death in Hispanic and Latino women? Vestido Rojo is an initiative, de todo corazón, to address the needs of Hispanic and Latino women in San Antonio.
At Vestido Rojo, women will receive complimentary health screenings and participate in workshops delivered in Spanish and English designed to help them and their families live heart healthy.

The event takes place on Saturday, February 27, 2010 from 8am-1pm at the San Antonio Events Center. If you would like register to attend call (210) 617-2617 today.
