Hospitals draw attention to Heart Disease

Posted:
BEAUMONT -

Two area hospitals "turned red" Friday in an effort to bring attention to the number one killer of women.

 Saint Elizabeth and Saint Mary Hospitals both lit exterior entrances to their buildings with red lights to honor women battling heart disease. 

The lights kick off a month-long schedule of events to generate awareness about the disease. 

According to a hospital spokesperson, only one in five American women believe that heart disease is the greatest health threat.
