The American Heart Association, the world’s leading nonprofit organization devoted to a world of healthier lives for all, announces Jeannie Bolger, Ambulatory Director of Nursing with Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, as the community volunteer chair of the 2025 New Hampshire Go Red for Women Luncheon. This educational and fundraising event is scheduled for Wednesday, February 12th at the Grappone Conference Center in Concord.
“As a cardiac nurse, I am especially proud to chair the 2025 Go Red for Women Luncheon,” said Bolger. “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.”
Bolger and her volunteer leadership team have set a goal to raise $150,000 to fight heart disease and stroke in women. The team includes the following members: Sharon Hartl, Encompass Health; Kathy LeClair, Ledyard Bank; Jennifer Maclaren, The Dew Collective; and Lisha Wallace, Northwestern Mutual.
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 the American Heart Association 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. 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,” said Rosemary Hendrickx, the Association’s New Hampshire Go Red for Women Director.
The Luncheon is sponsored nationally by CVS Health and locally by Dartmouth Health. Media sponsors are WMUR-TV, 95.7 WZID, New Hampshire Business Review and New Hampshire Magazine.
