American Heart Association COO - Field Operations to Ring The NASDAQ Stock Market Closing Bell


ADVISORY, Jan. 31, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) --



 What:
 Joanne McLaughlin, COO - Field Operations of the American Heart
 Association, will preside over the closing bell.

 Go Red For Women is the American Heart Association's nationwide
 movement that celebrates the energy, passion and power we have as
 women to band together and wipe out heart disease. Thanks to the
 participation of millions of people across the country, the color
 red and the red dress have become linked with the ability all women
 have to improve their heart health and live stronger, longer lives.

 Sponsored nationally by Macy's and locally in New York City by
 the NYU Cardiovascular Institute, with additional support from the
 PacifiCare Foundation and Bayer Aspirin, Go Red For Women began in
 February 2004, and has since grown into a vibrant national movement
 as more women, men, celebrities, healthcare professionals and
 politicians embrace and elevate the cause of women and heart
 disease. The movement gives women tips and information on healthy
 eating, exercise and risk factor reduction, such as smoking
 cessation, weight maintenance, blood pressure control, and blood
 cholesterol management.
