Time to See Red: Women’s Heart Health for Older Adults
Tuesday, October 2, 2018
Heart disease and stroke claim the life of a woman in Canada every 17 minutes. Alarmingly, not only are women under-aware of risks of heart disease and stroke, but the healthcare system lacks the proper diagnostic tools and therapies to properly diagnose and treat them. Learn about heart health for older women; learn to recognize the symptoms of heart attack and stroke and what to do if you are alone. Presented by the Heart & Stroke Foundation and the Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Katzie, Seniors Network.
