Video presentations about women and their risk for stroke
At Legacy Health, we're passionate about heart health and stroke prevention. That's why we've taken the lead in helping women learn about their personal risk factors.
For the second year in a row, Legacy Good Samaritan Medical Center partnered with the American Heart Association for the Go Red Women's Breakfast, a free educational event where women learned more about the uniqueness of their heart disease and stroke risk.
The topic this year was "Women's Stroke Awareness: What Women of All Ages Should Know." Presenters included Dr. Sandra Lewis, Jean Carlton, RN, BS and registered dietitian Laura Joyce. We invite you to watch these videos of their presentations.
