Sister to Sister to Screen Women Legislators to Raise Awareness About Heart Disease
In an effort to raise awareness that heart disease in women is preventable, Sister to Sister screened female legislators for heart disease risk factors at a Women in Government regional conference on September 18 in Lake George, NY.
Women in Government is a national 501(c)(3) non-profit, bi-partisan
organization of women state legislators that comes together for leadership
and networking opportunities, and holds forums on a variety of complex
public policy issues.
