The Ephraim McDowell Health Care Foundation is pleased to hold its 12th annual Happy Heart Luncheon. This annual event raises awareness of the risks of heart disease and how to be heart healthy. The luncheon will be held at Danville Country Club, 1486 Lexington Road, Danville, and will begin at 11:30 a.m. on February 16, 2023.
Ephraim McDowell Heart & Vascular Institute’s Interventional Cardiologist, C. Gary Grigsby Jr., M.D. will deliver an informative presentation on invasive cardiovascular procedures. In addition to Dr. Grigsby, we will also hear from Cardiologist Aslam M. Ahmad, M.D. as he presents on atrial fibrillation and McDowell Wellness Center Dietitian Janet Fluty on nourishing your heart. In addition to Ephraim McDowell providers, we are also excited to welcome Tionna Herron, University of Kentucky women’s basketball player as she does a Q+A on her recent open-heart surgery and her journey on getting back to the court.
Guests will be served a delicious, heart-healthy lunch and will be entered into a drawing to win numerous door prizes from The Still at Blue Rook Distillery, Kentucky Beef Council, Danville Country Club, and Southern Plate Catering and Café.
“Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Our goal is to provide an event that is fun, informative, and educational. If we can educate our community on ways to be heart healthy, we consider that a win for all,” said Laura Richard, Director of the Ephraim McDowell Health Care Foundation.
One person dies every 34 seconds in the United States from heart disease.
