Emanuel Medical Center, Doctors Medical Center and Doctors Hospital of Manteca launched a campaign that will outfit newborns delivered at the hospitals with little red hats to raise awareness of heart disease, the number one killer of Americans, and congenital heart defects, the most common type of birth defect in the country. As part of the program, all babies born at the participating hospitals during the month of August will receive a knitted or crocheted red baby hat, while supplies last. “It’s never too early to start learning about heart disease and the affects it can have on you and your family,” said Sue Micheletti, CEO at Emanuel Medical Center in Turlock.
