Thank you for wearing red and joining us today throughout the province for #WearRedCanada!

All around the circle – from St. John’s to our satellite nursing sites in Gander, Grand Falls-Windsor, and Happy Valley-Goose Bay –

and alongside our enthusiastic colleagues at NL Health Services, we’re helping raise awareness for #HeartDisease – the leading cause of premature death in women in Canada.

Learn more about the initiative and how risk factors can be reduced through awareness, prevention, and early care:
