HARLINGEN –  A free “Healthy Hearts for Women” luncheon will be held on Saturday, February 15, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., at Valley Baptist Medical Center, 2101 Pease Street in Harlingen (on the first floor of the hospital, South Tower entrance, in the Woodward Conference Center) and will include a presentation on heart attack as well as tips on how to shop for heart-healthy foods . Sign language interpretation will be provided.

Dr. Charles Mild, Cardiologist, will speak on “Am I Going to Have a Heart Attack?  Am I Having One Now?” during the “Women and Heart Disease” luncheon.  Signs and symptoms of heart attack can be different in women compared to men – so it is important for women to be aware of the sometimes more-subtle symptoms of heart problems.

In addition, Miriam Peña, RD, Valley Baptist Clinical Dietitian, will speak on “Shopping List for a Healthy Heart.”  There will also be a panel discussion – with the chance to ask questions to medical specialists.
