Lake Pointe Medical Center raises awareness of heart disease by participating in #WearRedDay

(ROWLETT, TX – Feb. 10, 2016) Lake Pointe Medical Center showed its support in the fight against heart disease by participating in National Wear Red Day, an annual part of American Heart Month.

This yearly health observance, first recognized in 2003, was designed to save lives and raise awareness for heart disease, which kills more women each year than all forms of cancer combined.

In addition to participating in National Wear Red Day, LPMC participates in the American Heart Association’s Get With The GuidelinesSM program. This initiative is a hospital-based quality improvement program designed by the American Heart Association and the American Stroke Association to provide hospital staff with tools that follow proven evidence-based guidelines and procedures for cardiac patients in their care. It empowers health care provider teams to consistently treat heart and stroke patients according to the most up-to-date guidelines.
