Third Annual Women's Heart Fair

Women’s heart health is a critical yet often overlooked aspect of overall well-being. Heart disease is the leading cause of death among women, but many are unaware of the risks and early warning signs, which can differ from those experienced by men. Factors like stress, hormonal changes, and lifestyle choices can significantly impact heart health. Prioritizing preventive care, learning lifesaving skills like CPR, and adopting heart-healthy habits can make all the difference.
