My name is Celia, and I am a student at the University of Washington.
00:00:21
I did not die in a car crash after my
high school graduation party
00:00:24
because i was wearing a seat belt
00:00:26
and the car car had airbags.
00:00:29
Between 2000 and 2009,
00:00:31
the rate of car crash deaths fell by 26 percent
00:00:35
saving 32 lives every day.
00:00:38
My name is Amina
00:00:41
unlike my mother and grandmother
00:00:43
I had normal, healthy pregnancies
00:00:47
I did NOT die in childbirth
00:00:49
or have severe complications.
00:00:52
because i had access to prenatal visits
and care, my children will grow up
00:00:57
with their mother.
00:01:01
Between 1990 and 2010,
00:01:03
annual maternal deaths worldwide fell by
forty seven percent
00:01:12
and I commute to work on my bike three times a week.
00:01:17
i did not have a stroke or heart attack
last year
00:01:20
because I made changes in my life after
my blood pressure showed up high.
00:01:25
luckily for me and many others that kind
of screening is now routine
00:01:32
Heart disease and stroke are an epidemic in the U.S. today,
00:01:35
but the major risk factors CAN be controlled with regular screening tests
00:01:40
and adopting healthy lifestyle.
00:01:45

00:02:42
