About me:
Bonnie Arkus, RN, Executive Director
Women's Heart Foundation
Bonnie Arkus is a registered nurse who is credited with starting the Women's Heart Movement in 1986 after losing her mother from heart bypass surgery at the age of 60.
She began the southern Mercer County division of the American Heart Association in 1989, then incorporated the Women's Heart Foundation (WHF) in 1992 to solely focus on improving women's survival and quality of life.
Women's Heart Foundation is the only non governmental organization that implements heart disease prevention projects, and works towards institutionalizing its message through nursing, healthcare organizations and medicine to provide gender-specific evidence-based care, and through schools to revise curricula.
The Annual Women's Heart Red Dress event took place Feb 1, 2009 at the Trenton Marriott Hotel with 120 community women leaders, survivors and advocates in attendance. Be the Change was the theme.
