Women’s HeartAdvantage™

Every Year More Women Die from Heart Disease than from Cancer

Women's HeartAdvantage

Most women think that cancer is their leading killer. They’re wrong. It’s heart disease. In fact, each year, nearly twice as many women die of cardiovascular disease as from all forms of cancer. But now Silver Cross has a program that can help.

Created along with other leading hospitals and their affiliated physicians nationwide, we’re bringing you the Women’s HeartAdvantage™ Program. It’s designed to increase awareness of heart disease and help you recognize risk factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cigarette smoking and obesity. You should also learn the symptoms of a heart attack. But most importantly, if you experience symptoms, it’s essential that you seek medical treatment within one hour of symptom onset, because this is when drugs and other treatments will be most effective.

With a little effort on your part, you have the potential to add years to your life. Click here or call 1-888-660-HEAL to request a free Women’s HeartAdvantage Kit and to set-up an appointment for a Baseline Cardiovascular Risk Assessment. Consisting of cholesterol, blood pressure, body fat and other key tests, the assessment takes just 90 minutes and includes one-on-one consultations with a registered cardiovascular nurse.

Listen to your heart before it’s too late.
