Brave Hearts: A focus group for men with heart disease

Heart disease continues to be a leading cause of death in the United States. At Parkview Heart Institute, we know that living with heart disease can be stressful, and making the right lifestyle changes can require guidance and support.

Join Brave Hearts: A focus group for men with heart disease. Here, men gather in an open forum to ask questions and share experiences and ideas for adjusting to life after being diagnosed with heart disease. Each month includes a new topic or event focusing on healthy living, exercise, nutrition, stress reduction, smoking cessation and more.

Register by emailing Michelle Wood at michelle.wood@parkview.com. The group will meet at the Parkview Heart Institute, 5th floor, conference room 2.
