During the month of February, Cooper University Health Care will celebrate the Go Red for Women movement and American Heart Month.
On Friday, February 9, 2018, Cooper is observing National Wear Red Day® to increase awareness, prevention, and treatment of heart disease and stroke among women.
We will have a table with information and giveaways at several locations:
- Cooper Court Cafeteria (outside of the cafeteria)
- CCBO (2nd floor)
- In the cardiology practices
Remember to wear red!
Send photos of yourself, your coworkers, or your unit or department proudly wearing red on Friday, February 9, 2018, to socialmedia@cooperhealth.edu, or tag us on Instagram @cooperuniversityhealthcare.
