Recently, The American Heart Association, a global force for healthier lives for all, proudly announced the name of Sowmya Lakshminarayanan, M.D., a triple board-certified neurologist with Novant Health, as the chair of the 2025 Go Red for Women Movement in the Triad.
Dr. Lakshminarayanan stated, “My goal is to inspire and encourage family, friends and the greater community to actively support the women in their lives. By uplifting one woman, we create a ripple effect that benefits her circle of influence, her family and ultimately her community and beyond.”
Go Red for Women is a global initiative of the American Heart Association to increase women’s heart health awareness and serve as a catalyst for change to improve the lives of women locally, nationally and globally. Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer for women in the United States, claiming more lives than all forms of cancer combined.
“Both personally and professionally, this is very important to me. I chose to chair Go Red for Women in the Triad because of its profound ability to impact a broad group of women. I also look forward to emphasizing the overall health of women, including physical, psychological, emotional and social well-being,” said Dr. Lakshminarayanan holding more than 20 years of clinical experience.
She earned a master’s certification in Healthcare Leadership from Cornell University and an AI in Healthcare Certification from MIT Sloan School of Management.
Go Red for Women and its local community impact will be celebrated at the Triad Go Red for Women Experience on February 7, 2025.
