Community is at the heart of everything we do. That’s why Black Restaurant Week San Antonio is proud to support the American Heart Association’s

Go Red For Women campaign.
​

Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 cause of death for women in the U.S., yet women, especially Black women and women of color, are more likely to be underdiagnosed, undertreated, and overlooked when it comes to heart health.

Black women face higher risks of heart disease and stroke at younger ages, driven by inequities in healthcare access, delayed diagnosis, and gaps in emergency response. Women are less likely to receive bystander CPR, and their symptoms are more likely to be dismissed.

​

These disparities demand attention and action.

​

Food, culture, and community are central to how we gather and care for one another, but they are also connected to health outcomes. Supporting

Go Red For Women allows BRWSA to extend our impact beyond the table by helping fund research, education, and advocacy that improves heart

health for women.

Together we can make a difference.
