Women in Red
Woodland Heights
Celebrates 4th Annual Women in Red Luncheon
Woodland
Heights reminded women that Red is the Heart of the
Matter during their 4th Annual Women in Red Luncheon.
This year’s event was a monumental success with over 600
women in attendance. The luncheon, which is designed to
heighten awareness on women’s health issues,
specifically heart disease, was held at the Pitser
Garrison Civic Center April 23rd.
During the luncheon, the audience listened as R.
Bachireddy, M.D., spoke on heart disease and the signs
and symptoms one needs to look for. Worldwide, 8.6
million women die from
heart disease each year. 267,000
women die each year from heart attacks, which is six
times as likely to kill women as breast cancer.
For the past 20 years, Woodland Heights has received
numerous national awards and recognition for it’s
excellence in cardiac care. The hospital’s Heart Center
has performed over 2,200 open heart surgeries and over
16,000 heart catherizations since opening its doors in
1987. As we begin our 90th year of service to East
Texas, we will continue to strive to bring personal and
quality care to the residents of
Lufkin and the
surrounding areas.
During the luncheon, guests were also treated to a high
energy, motivational message from LaDonna Gatlin. She
encouraged those in attendance to “sing their own song”
while keeping us all laughing and reinforcing the
importance of timeless values such as character,
integrity and honesty.
