City of Chehalis Washington Official Website

National Wear Red Day is Friday, February 7.

According to the American Heart Association "AHA," heart disease is the number one killer of women, killing more than all forms of cancer combined!  Many of these deaths can be prevented, but most women don't notice the symptoms until it's too late.  That's why it's been called the silent killer.

The AHA is celebrating the 10th anniversary of GoRedForWomen.  Please join in February 7 to celebrate National Wear Red Day to raise awareness in the fight against heart disease in women.
