Heart disease is the number 1 killer of both men and women in the U.S., but careful monitoring and lifestyle changes can cut risk factors for most folks.
On February 21, at Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital in Onancock, Riverside is sponsoring a program that offers a generous helping of heart-related education and medical screenings.
The event kicks off at 8:00 a.m. with important screenings, including lipids, blood pressure and blood sugars, to give you a good indication of your overall heart health. At 9:30 a.m., Dr. Lloyd J. Kellam, III will share his advice on what is new in staying heart healthy, along with expert speakers on the importance of an advance directive and the role medications play in staying heart healthy.
The event is free and open to anyone who is interested, but space is limited, so interested persons should call early to reserve a spot. Call 302-2297 for more information.
