For Your Heart's Sake



On February 10th, 2007, Soroptimist International of Fidalgo Island was proud to partner once again with Island Hospital to present our 4th annual women’s heart health forum, For Your Heart’s Sake. Susan Dana ARNP of Pacific Northwest Cadiology gave a power point presentation with current information on cardiovascular disease, familial connections and prevention techniques and then answered the questions of attendees for nearly an hour. Over fifty attended the event which included information booths, blood pressure checks and snacks provided by Island Hospital. Many left with raffle gifts donated by local merchants and all received an information bag of heart healthy recipes, information on Island Hospital programs for the prevention and treatment of heart disease and a red dress pin.
