Star Jones Encourages Women to “Know Your Numbers”
Attorney, Author, and TV Personality Shares Her Story & Why She Wants Women to Go Red with a Free Heart Health Screening This Valentine’s Day!
We know her from her years on television discussing the “hot topics” of the day and unpacking the legal issues in the headlines. We also watched her transform by losing more than 150 pounds and keeping it off only to eventually tackle heart disease, too. Jones underwent open-heart surgery in 2010, and as American Heart Association National Volunteer, her story includes a vital message for women regarding heart health. It’s a message she’s eager to share during American Heart Month.
According to the American Heart Association, nearly 80 percent of cardiac events can be prevented, yet most women don’t know their personal health numbers that are critical to determining one’s risk.
This Valentine’s Day and every Thursday in February, a national sponsor of the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women movement, CVS is offering no-cost heart screenings in MinuteClinic locations nationwide!
