Alicia Schulhof to chair the American Heart Association’s Tampa Bay 2026-27 Go Red for Women initiative
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death for women in Tampa Bay and across the United States. To change that, the American Heart Association, a relentless force changing the future of health for everyone everywhere, is encouraging women to prioritize their heart health. Leading that effort locally is Alicia Schulhof, M.H.A., F.A.C.H.E., president of Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital and an accomplished healthcare executive who has spent more than 20 years leading organizations through transformational change across for-profit, nonprofit, community and academic healthcare settings.
Known for building and empowering high-performing teams, Schulhof is serving as the 2027 chair for the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women® movement in Tampa Bay, empowering women to take charge of their heart health while addressing critical gaps in research, education and care. Go Red for Women is dedicated to helping women lead healthier lives.
“As women, our days are packed, and life rarely slows down—but women’s health deserves attention now, not later,” said Schulhof. “Go Red for Women is a call to action: Red Means Go, for our hearts, our futures and every woman who matters to us.”
The Red Means Go message encourages women to move beyond awareness and take action, whether that means learning their risk factors, scheduling preventive screenings, making heart-healthy lifestyle changes or seeking medical care when needed.
