February is Heart Awareness Month!

By Fire Chief Sam DiGiovanna

The 2020 Coachella Valley Go Red for Women Luncheon will be Fri, Feb 21, 2020 @ 10:30 AM The Westin Mission Hills Golf Resort & Spa in Rancho Mirage Ca.

The Go Red for Women luncheon continues to serve as the cornerstone event of the Go Red for Women movement in local communities. This empowering event focuses on preventing heart disease and stroke by promoting healthy lifestyles, building awareness and raising critically-needed funds to support research and education initiatives.

Cardiovascular diseases, which include stroke, claim the life of a woman about every 80 seconds. We hope you will join us on our mission because about 80 percent of cardiovascular diseases may be prevented.
