Each year on the first Friday in February, the American Heart Association encourages individuals nationwide to wear red to raise awareness about heart disease as the leading cause of death among Americans. The staff at FCPHD celebrated Go Red Day in style. FCPHD also partnered with Ford County Probation to bring a Go Red Day heart health event at the Ford County Courthouse. Ford County employees and the general public were invited to attend to receive heart health information, free blood pressure screens, and a chance to win a heart health prize! Check out the images below.
