Go Red TM of AHA, Red Dress TM of DHHS

Do you dream of having a career in healthcare,
but feel that there are obstacles in your path?

Have you heard there is a demand for nurses and doctors
from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds?

Do you want to make a difference in your community?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then join us for a special twitter chat to discuss career in healthcare and to learn more about a scholarship set up by the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women movement and Macy’s – the Go Red™ Multicultural Scholarship Fund. The #GoRedScholarship Healthcare Career Chat will be held November 3rd from 1-2pm EST and those who register (see form below) and attend the chat will be entered to win a $50 Macy’s Gift Card!

During the Twitter chat, you’ll hear from AHA experts and volunteers to discuss their experiences in the healthcare field as well as tips on achieving a career in healthcare: from financing, scholarship help, the need for ethnic diversity in healthcare. You’ll also learn more about the Go Red Multicultural Scholarship Fund and the Go Red Movement – an initiative created to help fight the #1 killer on women: heart disease.

There’s an increasing demand for healthcare workers, but still the number of multicultural women working in U.S. hospitals is low. At the same time, many ethnic groups — including African-Americans and Hispanics — are disproportionately affected by cardiovascular disease and they confront many barriers to care not experienced by their Caucasian counterparts.

The Scholarship Fund will award 16 scholarships of $2,500 each ($40,000 total) to qualifying applicants. Deadline for applications is November 30, 2011. For more information visit the Go Red Multicultural Scholarship Fund Page.

Did you know that nearly 300,000 out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrests occur annually, and four out of five cardiac arrests happen at home?

That means the life you save with CPR is most likely to be someone you love.

Anyone can learn the updated Hands-Only CPR — in as little as 60 seconds!

Share your story and hear stories from women around the nation who have made it their mission to share the gift of CPR with those they love.

We will be joined by special guests who will answer questions about CPR, share their stories, and engage in a lifesaving dialogue.

Add the #GoRedCorazon hashtag to your tweets, encouraging women to see the 1-minute video in English and Spanish that can save lives.

Studies show that people who view the short Hands-Only CPR instructional video are significantly more likely to attempt life-saving resuscitation. Learn more and ask questions at this special Twitter event! Two party attendees will each receive one CPR Anytime Kit!
