February is Heart Health Month. CREW Charleston has invited the American Heart Association (AHA) to speak to us around women’s heart health. The AHA has assembled a panel of clinicians to discuss cardiovascular risks that are inherent to women. As the #1 killer of both men and women, we encourage you to attend and share information learned with women you know, we are saving lives - one person at a time.
We encourage you to wear red to the luncheon to support heart health month!
