Since 1963, February has been celebrated as American Heart Health Month to urge Americans to join the battle against heart disease.  Since 2004, February has also been recognized for the Go Red for Women campaign, sponsored by the American Heart Association, to raise awareness about Women’s Heart Health.  Although heart disease death rates among men have declined steadily over the last 25+ years, sadly rates among women have fallen at a slower rate.  February 2,  2024, has been designated as National Wear Red Day, at which time residents are encouraged to Wear Red to inspire women to take charge of their heart health. Residents are encouraged to share their photos of support on the Township of Nutley Health Department Facebook page and/or the nutley_dpa Instagram page.  In an effort to further recognize this initiative, all municipal buildings will be illuminated in RED, in partnership with Commissioner Tucci and the Nutley Department of Parks and Public Property.
