Annual Women’s Heart Health Fairs
Put simply, Sister to Sister’s annual Women’s Heart Health Fairs save lives. Held each year during the month of February (Heart Health Month), our FREE, fun, one-day fairs offer:
- Heart disease screenings and risk assessments -- in just 15 minutes!
- On-site counseling sessions to create an individualized health-action plan.
- Medical experts taking questions and presenting cutting-edge information.
- Lifestyle pros demonstrating simple cooking, activity, and eating changes that can lower heart disease risk dramatically.
- Raffles, door prizes, massages, and giveaways that add to the fun.
Based on statistics from previous years, four out of 10 women attending our fairs will discover that they have two or more heart disease risk factors. With statistics like that, can you afford not to attend? Even better, bring a few friends!

| Women take the time to protect themselves from heart disease by getting screened. It's the best 15 minutes you'll ever spend. |
