Whether you’re a survivor, donor, volunteer or guest of a friend or your company, attending a Go Red for Women Luncheon will not only be fun and fulfilling, but it just might also be the one lunch that saves your life or the life of someone you love.
Jean M. Bolger, BS, RN, RDA Dartmouth Health nurse will serve as community volunteer chair at the upcoming American Heart Association New Hampshire (AHA) Go Red for Women Luncheon. Jean M. Bolger, BS, RN, RD, ambulatory nursing director at Dartmouth Health’s Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC), heads the volunteer leadership team behind the New Hampshire chapter of AHA’s annual event on February 12 in Concord, sponsored by Dartmouth Health.
“As a cardiac nurse, I am especially proud to chair the 2025 Go Red for Women Luncheon,” said Bolger, whose leadership team has set a fundraising goal of $150,000 to fight heart disease and stroke in women. “This event features inspiration, education and community among women, and is a powerful and moving experience. Whether you’re a survivor, donor, volunteer or guest of a friend or your company, attending a Go Red for Women Luncheon will not only be fun and fulfilling, but it just might also be the one lunch that saves your life or the life of someone you love.”
Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer of women in the United States, claiming more lives each year than all forms of cancer combined and taking the life of one in every three women. Go Red for Women is a worldwide initiative of AHA designed to increase women’s heart health awareness and serve as a catalyst for change to improve the lives of women locally, nationally, and globally.
“We are thrilled to have Jeannie’s experience, conviction and passion to help drive the Go Red for Women movement in New Hampshire,” said Rosemary Hendrickx, AHA-NH’s Go Red for Women director. “Together, we know that we will have a positive impact on the lives of women in our community and the families that depend on them.”
Additionally, Kerrilynn C. Hennessey, MD, a cardiologist at DHMC’s Heart and Vascular Center, will present the event’s the keynote address, entitled “Team-Based Care for Women’s Health: Insights from Dartmouth Health’s Cardio-Obstetrics Program.”
The Go Red for Women Luncheon will be held at the Grappone Center in Concord on Wednesday, February 12. For more information and tickets, visit heart.org/NHGoRed.
