Fifth Annual Dallas Women’s Heart Health Fair April 25, 2009

The bad news: Approximately 42.7 million U.S. women – that’s one in three – have some form of cardiovascular disease. The good news: By learning personal risk factors and discovering heart-healthy lifestyle changes, women can reduce their heart disease risk up to 82 percent. So take a step toward reversing your risk, and head to the
fifth annual Dallas Women’s Heart Health Fair presented by the Sister to Sister Foundation.

Take advantage of FREE comprehensive heart screenings (cholesterol and triglycerides, blood glucose levels, blood pressure, Body Mass Index, waist circumference, and review of family health history) with on-the-spot results and one-on-one counseling with a licensed professional. PLEASE NOTE: HEART SCREENINGS ARE FOR WOMEN AGES 18 AND UP (the first 1,500 people will be screened).
Enjoy ongoing healthy cooking demos and stress-reduction workshops, take a fitness class, browse the various exhibitor booths and register for raffles and giveaways. The Heart Health Fair is free and open to the public. Parking is also free at Gate 2 (Haskell Ave. and Parry Ave.), Gate 4 (First Ave. and Parry Ave.) and Gate 5 (Grand Ave. and Robert B. Cullum Blvd.).

Sister to Sister: The Women’s Heart Health Foundation is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to preventing heart disease, the number one killer of women, by encouraging cardiac screenings for women and providing them with resources to increase awareness, reduce personal risk factors, and live a heart-healthy lifestyle. Sister to Sister has been a lifesaving resource for more than 200,000 women since 2000.
