Ladies, know the warning signs!

As women, the warning signs of a cardiac event may present very differently for us than they do for men.  Many women simply don't feel right...and they aren't sure why.  If you--or someone you care about--experiences any of the warning signs, don't wait!  Call 9-1-1 and seek help right away!  You are worth it!

Many of you may remember the Elizabeth Banks piece on women and warning signs from our luncheon.  It's worth watching again:
