From Juan F. Luis Hospital — February is National Heart Month and 1 in 3 women die of heart disease and stroke each year. We are extending an invitation to the community to join us at the Virgin Islands Cardiac Center as we continue to fulfil our mandate to educate the community. We are hosting our fourth Cardiac Symposium for all healthcare professionals, Police, Fire and community members to engage in interactive / educational sessions regarding emerging trends, best practices, and new technologies in the field of cardiology.
In 2003, the American Heart Association and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute took action against a disease that was claiming the lives of nearly 500,000 American women each year – a disease that women weren’t paying attention to. A disease they truly believed, and many still believe to this day, affects more men than women stemming from that action, National Heart Month and National Wear Red Day was born.
Everyone is invited to attend: Cardiologist, Physicians, Physician Assistant, Nurses, all Allied Health, EMT’s, Fire, Police, and Community Members. If you are Hypertensive, if you are Diabetic or have any Cardiac problems, this conference is for you.
Guest Speakers: Dr. Conville Brown from the Bahamas; Dr. Henry Steward from Curacao; Dr. Benjamin Betancourt from Pavia hospital; Dr. Paolo Rusconi Pediatric Cardiologist from Miami; Dr. Roy Flood for St. Thomas; and many more distinguished presenters.
