Women Take Heart
A program to help women recognize and lower their risk for heart disease.
- Do you know that heart disease is the #1 killer of women and men?
- Do you know the risk factors for heart disease?
- Do you want to find out more about how to determine you risk and lower it?
"Women Take Heart"
is a comprehensive cardiac risk screening program for women
The Program Includes:
A blood cholesterol profile (LDL, HDL, triglycerides and fasting blood sugar). Results are immediately available to discuss with you and can be sent to your physician.
A private counseling session with an experienced cardiac registered nurse to evaluate your personal risk of heart disease, discuss your cholesterol profile and how you can reduce your overall risk. The option to purchase a one-on-one nutrition and/or exercise consultation, as well as additional services that support a heart healthy lifestyle.
"Women Take Heart" screenings are personal and confidential. Once your risk of developing heart disease has been determined, you will receive detailed education on how to help lower your risk and modify your lifestyle on areas such as nutrition, exercise, stress, smoking and hormone use. If needed, we will assist you in obtaining medical evaluation and treatment.
