CVS Health will nationally sponsor the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women and pledge to raise $10 million over the next three years in support of life-saving cardiovascular research and education.
Helena Foulkes, president of CVS Pharmacy, was named the inaugural national chair for Go Red For Women. This annual campaign seeks to grow awareness of heart disease and stroke as the No. 1 killer of women in the United States.
"With more than one in three women living with cardiovascular disease, there is a great need for increased awareness, funding and research about women's heart health. I am honored to serve as national chair for Go Red For Women to help spread this important message," Foulkes said in a statement. "Many of our colleagues, customers and communities have been touched by heart disease and stroke and we are encouraging them to help us inspire action and support the work of the American Heart Association by 'going red' and as part of our company's broader commitment to helping people on their path to better health."
