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.  This year, Friday, 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. On this date also, all Township of Nutley Municipal Buildings will be illuminated in red in an effort to bring further awareness to this initiative.
