Duluth Goes Red for National Wear Red Day

National Wear Red Day®* is Friday, February 1. "National Wear Red Day was created by the American Heart Association (AHA) to raise awareness about women and heart disease," says Disha Mookherjee, MD, FACC, Aspirus St. Luke's Cardiology Associates. "Here at Aspirus St. Luke's, the whole hospital goes red."
