Community Heart Workshop Scheduled for February 5

Utah Valley Heart & Vascular Services will host the 2010 “Your Heart: A Healthy Investment” Community Workshop on February 5 from 7:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. in the Clark Auditorium at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center.

This year’s workshop will highlight several different topics including everything you want to know about healthy eating; the connection between sleep disorders and heart disease; and how fat affects your heart and other organs. Participants will also hear from Steve Smoot, administrator of Utah Valley Regional Medical Center, who will share his personal struggle to get healthy and how he’s now passing what he’s learned on to other members of his family. A heart-healthy breakfast will also be provided for all workshop participants.

Cost for the workshop is $20 per person until Monday, February 1. Seating is limited to 100. Registration includes a full lipid panel and blood pressure screening, breakfast, a gym bag and all printed materials. Those who want a full lipid panel must come to the conference fasting for 12 hours. To register and pay for the conference, please call 801.357.7227.
