The Circle of Red and Red Tie Society are vital parts of the American Heart Association’s campaign to provide more heart healthy education. These two groups are made up of local women and men who contribute time and
resources year round to increase community awareness of heart disease. They also provide a big boost for the annual Go Red for Women event.
Tiffany Guttierrez, regional director for the American Heart Association, says this special group of men

The 2016 Circle of Red members include Joan Strayham, Mallory Strayham, Dorothy Shaw, Jillian Ladner, Jaime Hallman, Kellie Neuman, Angelyn Treutel-Zeringue, Brenda Whitwell, and Dr. Andrea Davis. The Red
