Stacey Brandt, executive vice president and chief administrative officer at Tampa General Hospital, has been named the 2025–2026 chair of the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women campaign in Tampa Bay.
Brandt will lead the regional initiative to raise awareness of cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death among women, and inspire action around prevention, education and early intervention. In her role, she will also head the campaign’s local volunteer executive leadership team.
“Heart disease continues to impact so many women in our community,” Brandt said. “Through Go Red for Women, the American Heart Association encourages us to prioritize our own heart health. I’m honored to lead this effort to raise awareness, provide education and inspire action.”
The Go Red for Women movement, now in its third decade, promotes early screenings, healthy lifestyle changes and peer support to combat the epidemic.
In the past year, the Tampa Bay chapter of the American Heart Association trained more than 2,300 new moms in CPR and distributed blood pressure monitors to help reduce the risk of pregnancy-related cardiovascular complications, the leading cause of maternal death in Florida, according to a statement.
The 2025–26 campaign will culminate in the Go Red for Women Experience on February 18, where local stories of impact and progress will be celebrated.
