Heart Health
Presenter - Dr. Paul Fedak
Your heart is one of the strongest organs in your body and pumps blood around your body. It can beat up to 10,000 times a day. There are many heart conditions that affect both young and old. Learning about these heart conditions, how they’re diagnosed, what can be done about them can help you understand if you are at risk. The sooner you identify and manage your risk factors, the better your chances of leading a heart-healthy life.
All of our lectures are FREE to attend, we just ask that you please register and arrive on time.
