Okay, so full disclosure: The first time I heard “get screened for heart disease,” I pictured going to a hospital and getting hooked up to an EKG machine and giving 12 pints of blood or something. My imagination ran wild!
Turns out, getting screened for heart disease is no big deal.

Last year when I started working for Sister to Sister: The Women's Heart Health Foundation, I had a lot to learn about heart disease. There were endless statistics to make sense of. Still, the one that seemed the most senseless to me both then and now is this: One in four women dies of heart disease, even though preventive screenings could be saving lives.
