I had the privilege to attend the 2017 Woman’s Day Red Dress Awards where the focus was on awarding women who made a great contribution to research of heart disease and heart attacks in women, since it was proven that females experience heart attacks differently than males do, but often in research, this fact had previously been ignored.
It was great to see the honorees, LaQuitta “Shai” Wilkins, Janine Austin Clayton, MD, Holly Andersen, MD, and attend an event that was hosted by Jane Lynch. Hoda Kotb was in attendance, and there were performances by Carly Rose Sonenclar, Bella Electric Strings, and Melissa Etheridge.
Last, but certainly not least, I got to meet yet another honoree, the legendary Laila Ali.
It was a truly enlightening and pleasant experience in the heart of the city!
