Wear Red Day

ON NATIONAL WEAR RED DAY, Feb. 2, MemorialCare formally announced the opening of the brand-new Women’s Heart Center – dedicated solely to the prevention and early detection of heart disease. The clinic is held at MemorialCare Medical Group in Douglas Park, with testing and specialty care performed at MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center. To raise awareness, medical center care providers and friends formed a giant heart, while wearing red heart-shaped glasses and red scarves over hospital uniforms and educated the public by lifting signs encouraging women to “Know Your Numbers” demonstrating the importance of knowing important indicators such as cholesterol, blood pressure and BMI.
