Heart Check for Women

Many people are surprised to learn that heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women over 25, claiming the lives of one out of every two women. Fortunately, risk factors associated with heart disease can be reduced.

The Heart Center has designed a unique program called Heart CHECK for women.

The program not only educates women on heart disease, but also provides personal one-to-one screening for identifiable risk factors along with a plan to effectively reduce them. During the program an EKG as well as cholesterol, blood glucose and body fat tests are administered to determine a personalized plan of risk reduction.

There is an option of attending a six-week fitness series and vegetarian cooking class.

Periodic progress reports and follow-up testing help ensure that our patients are successful in complying with their risk-reduction plan.
