Taking Heart Disease Personally

When TV news anchor Gail Hogan collapsed at work in 1988 and her heart stopped beating, her co-workers kept her alive by administering CPR. At age 32, she was a wife and mother, the picture of health, and an unlikely candidate for heart failure. Since that life changing event, Gail Hogan has been an advocate for women's heart health. It hasn't been an easy journey. For 20 years, Gail has faced doctors and health experts who dismissed women's heart issues as simply stress or anxiety. She became one of the founding members of the American Heart Association's Women's Heart Health Initiative in Columbus, to raise awareness and dollars specifically for women's heart issues. This was the forerunner of the national AHA Go Red Campaign, targeting women and heart disease. For Gail, it's exciting to finally see the medical community realizing women's heart issues are real and different than men's. Most recently, Gail had open heart surgery to repair a heart valve, and has a pacemaker and defibrillator to correct her arrhythmia. She continues educating women on their health and shares her personal story, along with practical advice, for women of all ages.

Gail is married and has three children, ages 20, 18 and 15. She now owns and hosts her own TV show where she lives, in Columbus, Ohio.
