Go Red for Women

Attendees look over the items in the Purse-onalities silent auction at the American Heart Association’s annual Go Red for Women Luncheon on Sept. 18 at Bass Pro Shops’ White River Room. The event included a heart-healthy lunch, a presentation on women’s heart disease and a keynote speech from Dr. Lakshmi Parvathaneni, Springfield’s first female cardiologist. Cardiovascular disease, according to the association, is the No. 1 killer of women in the country each year.
