Heart disease is usually thought of as a man’s disease, but it is the # 1 killer of women in this country. Heart disease claims more female lives than all forms of cancer combined, yet only one in five women are aware of this deadly health threat.
Did you know that more than 1 in 4 women in the U.S. have some type of heart disease? The focus of this community education is to discuss heart disease in women and what we can and should be doing about it. Learn what you can do to take care of yourself or someone you love.
Learn more about:
