WISEWOMAN INITIATIVE

WISEWOMAN (Well-Integrated Screening and Evaluation for WOMen Across the Nation) is a program to help women understand and reduce their risk for heart disease. At no cost, the program provides heart health screenings to women across Louisiana. Women showing risk for heart disease receive support from healthy lifestyle programs and health coaching at no cost.

Heart disease is the number 1 killer of women in the United States. ₁ Did you know many things can influence your risk for heart disease and stroke? That includes high blood pressure, using tobacco products, being at an unhealthy weight, and family history of heart disease or stroke. ₂

Now is the time to take care of you. A healthy lifestyle is the best way to reduce your risk for heart disease or stroke. This may mean making healthy food choices, getting more exercise, or quitting smoking. Participating in WISEWOMAN can help you make long-lasting healthy changes.
