Trust your gut when it comes to your heart.

Heart disease in women is more common than one may think. In fact, more women die from heart disease than from breast cancer every year, but there are many barriers which keep women from getting the care they need. Education is key to breaking down these walls. Join Dr. Cecily Dvorak Havert to learn about:

  • The signs and symptoms of heart disease in women, and how they differ from men.
  • The risk factors that can lead to heart disease.
  • Lifestyle habits that can reduce the risk of heart disease.
  • The role of prevention and importance of seeing your health care provider regularly.
