Today is the annual Go Red for Women!
What is Go Red For Women?
In 2004, the American Heart Association (AHA) faced a challenge. Cardiovascular disease claimed the lives of nearly 500,000 American women each year, yet women were not paying attention.
In fact, many even dismissed it as an older man’s disease. To dispel the myths and raise awareness of heart disease & stroke as the number one killer of women, the American Heart Association created Go Red For Women, a passionate, emotional, social initiative designed to empower women to take charge of their heart health.
Go Red with these Heart-Healthy Habits:
- Eat more fruits and vegetables.
- Get moving! Walk, stretch … even dance!
- Look at labels – be mindful, especially, of sodium, fat and sugar.
- Adopt an attitude of gratitude … an appreciative mindset is healthy.
- Talk about a healthy lifestyle with the people you care about – it’s contagious!
For more info, visit the following link: https://www.goredforwomen.org/en/healthy-living
Lastly, wear red on Friday (TODAY, February 5th) as a way to get involved …. Whether you are in the office or not, It all begins with you!

All About Personal Injury Lawsuits | Schwartzapfel Lawyers P.C.
Did you know that there are more than 400 thousand personal injury cases each year?
Whether it’s from a car accident or a fall in the workplace, personal injuries are all too common in the United States.
The worst part is that they are emotionally and physically challenging to work through—especially when you get piled on with missed workdays, thousands of dollars in medical bills, and a potential lawsuit.

Many injuries take time to manifest. Symptoms may appear in a few days, others in a few months, and others can go unnoticed for years.
But if an employer can get it in writing that an employee admitted to, say, complaints of back pain only the day of a fall, they will use this as evidence to discredit any future claims relating to neck pain or any other body part you injured in that fall.
For more information on why you should use your own doctor, and what to do if you've been tricked into using your employer's doctor, visit the following link - https://bit.ly/3c7OZt5
If you've been injured on the job, do not allow your employer's physician to examine you.
No matter how caring they seem, the findings of these company agents can and will be used against you.
Bottom line: When you go to your employer's doctor, you lose.
