You know what’s spookier than Ghost Hearty? High blood pressure that goes unnoticed.

It’s called the “silent killer” for a reason, but regular monitoring and healthy lifestyle changes can make a big difference.

Take charge of your health and start by checking your blood pressure today. 👻 ♥️

“I knew immediately I was in trouble because I had all the classic signs of a stroke: face drooping, arm weakness, slurred speech.”

In early 2024, Paula, our School Engagement Director in Western Kentucky, was in bed scrolling on her phone when the left side of her body suddenly went limp. She tried to call for help, but her words came out garbled. Moments later, her symptoms stopped, but knowing the signs from working at Heart, she went straight to the ER.

When she arrived, her symptoms returned. Her left side was paralyzed, and her speech was slurred. Doctors stabilized her blood pressure and administered tPA, a clot-busting drug. “There were a million people doing a million things, but the nurse whispered, ‘You’re in great hands,’ and I knew she was right.”

In the weeks that followed, Paula relearned how to walk, talk, and perform simple tasks. Supported by her team and leaders, she found strength in their encouragement. “What we do daily matters. We save lives. I know because the Association’s work saved mine.”

On World Stroke Day, Paula reminds everyone to know the signs of stroke: F.A.S.T. or R.A.P.I.D.O.

To learn more about F.A.S.T., visit https://www.stroke.org/en/help-and-support/resource-library/fast-materials.

Cardiovascular disease does not discriminate, and it is not a one-size-fits-all issue. Heart disease and stroke unfairly target women, yet women have been historically left out of research, testing, treatment, and funding.

We celebrate survivors. At this year's Central Kentucky's Go Red for Women Luncheon, we spotlighted 8 women survivors of cardiovascular disease and stroke. Look at how they shine! 💖

Happy birthday to our incredible SVP of Development and Community Health for the Midwest Region, Katie Thom!🎉

A week ago we had the best time going RED at Central Kentucky's Go Red for Women Luncheon! Give a ❤️ for all the women in your life; your mother, your sister, your partner, your friend.

Go Red for Women is the American Heart Association’s signature women’s initiative, dedicated to raising awareness of cardiovascular disease as the leading cause of death in women. The movement empowers women to take charge of their heart health, while addressing critical gaps in research, education and care.

Each year, more than 350,000 cardiac arrests occur outside a hospital in the U.S., 90% of which are fatal. That's because only about 40% get the immediate help they need before emergency responders arrive.

Knowing how to respond in an emergency, especially the ability to perform CPR, is a skill that saves lives every day and could mean the difference between life and death for you, someone you love, or someone in need.

Don't wait to take action. Cardiac arrest can happen anywhere — at school, at your kid’s game, at work, or in the middle of a community event. And when it does, every second matters.

This , choose to take action and join the by learning CPR. The life you save could be closer to you than you think.

It's National Boss Day today and we are celebrating our amazing leadership here in Kentucky! Please send our Kentucky Executive Directors, Andrea and Greg, some love for their dedication and hard work. We couldn't do it without you, thank you for all that you do!

Last month, we hosted our first Kentuckiana Circle of Red party of the year, and it was nothing short of fabulous. We gathered for an evening of connection, inspiration, and purpose—meeting new friends, learning about the importance of the Go Red for Women movement, and hearing from passionate speakers who shared their commitment to heart and stroke health in women. 💞

Circle of Red is Go Red for Women’s annual giving society, made up of individuals who are in the fight against heart disease to win.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us to support a cause so close to our hearts.

If you're interested in learning more about the Kentuckiana Go Red for Women event and getting involved in the Circle of Red giving society, please email kentuckianagoredforwomen@heart.org.

One of the most meaningful moments of the Kentuckiana Heart Walk is recognizing the incredible individuals and teams who bring our mission to life in our community. This year, we were honored to witness a powerful act of gratitude when Lance Newman, a local cardiac arrest survivor, presented the Heart Saver Hero Award to his friend Destany Crawford. Destany performed CPR and helped save Lance’s life during a basketball game last May, and this award was our way of saying thank you.

Alongside this unforgettable tribute, we celebrated several award winners who went above and beyond to support heart health and save lives. Please join us in congratulating them!

We are a week away from our 2025 Go Red for Women Luncheon, happening on Friday, October 10th. Have you seen our PSA that is running on LEX 18 ? Here is our emcee, Jennifer Palumbo, and our Go Red Co-chairs, Megan Holley-Slaughter and Sherry Holley after the taping of our PSA and an interview with Jennifer for Best of the Bluegrass. Keep your eyes out for it!

Did you know, cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer of women, yet women remain underdiagnosed and undertreated. From receiving bystander CPR to facing differences in care, women deserve better. Go Red for Women is committed to closing gaps in access to care and championing community and support. Help us Bridge the Gap. Let's Go Red together.
