Heart of a Woman - February 7, 2025
In-Person and Virtual attendance options are available.
Presented by the Houston Methodist DeBakey Heart and Vascular Center
In Partnership with The National Federation Of Business & Professional Women's Clubs, Inc.
Heart disease is the number one killer of women in the United States, yet many women are unaware of their risk factors and potential symptoms, which differ from those of men. Increased awareness is key to preventing heart problems.
Thus, Heart of a Woman is designed to educate physicians, nurses and the entire care team about the gender-specific symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of heart disease and how women can proactively improve their own heart health. Attendees can customize the experience with small-group breakout sessions in the afternoon.
