Heart Screenings Urged for Women

To help women learn if they are at risk for heart disease, Silver Cross Hospital is offering heart screenings and free health educational programs in February in recognition of American Heart Month.  

Dr. Kathleen Drinan will present a free program, "Take Heart — You’ve Got Control" on Tuesday, Feb. 22, from 6:30-7:30 p.m. in the Silver Cross Center for Women’s Health, 1870 Silver Cross Blvd., New Lenox.

Participants will learn about heart disease and what women need to know to prevent heart attack and stroke. They also will be entered in a drawing to win a free Baseline Cardiac Risk Assessment.
