Heart disease is the number-one killer of women. When The Cardiology Division of New York University Medical Center signed on as a sponsor of the American Heart Association’s “Go Red for Women,” they challenged AB&C to “make some noise” to let employees and visitors know about its involvement. We adorned the front of the building with mannequins in red dresses holding red, heart-shaped balloons, surrounded the lobby pillars with red balloons, and laid a red carpet to guide participants to free blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose screenings. To encourage participation we offered prize drawings for heart-healthy prizes to those who got screened. More than 750 people were screened in three hours and the center received countless positive comments about the event. |
