February is American Heart Month and ProCare 'Goes Red' on the First Friday of February each year. Go Red for Women is the American Heart Association's global initiative to end heart disease and stroke in women. This past Friday, GA and FL employees gathered for Go Red to learn about their own potential risks for developing heart disease, how to improve their health, and enjoy heart healthy snacks.
