Am I at risk for a heart attack or heart disease? What is a “heart healthy” lifestyle? I have had an ache in my chest for days, should I go to the ER or make an appointment with my doctor? Dr. Scott Black, Texarkana native and Interventional Cardiologist with the Wadley HeartCare Network, will be on hand for an open discussion on your heart-related questions.

Stress & Exercise and Heart Disease     2:00 pm           Reservation Required

Managing stress is a good idea for overall health, and researchers continue to study the effectiveness of managing stress to fight heart disease. Studies using psychosocial therapies are promising in the prevention of second heart attacks. Join Dr. Overton-McCoy as she talks through the issues of stress and your heart health.  She will also provide information on a new initiative to increase physical activity, Women Run Arkansas.  This is a statewide run/walk club promoting fitness through running or walking.
