In celebration of American Heart Month, this special event brings together experts to discuss a variety of topics centered around women's heart health and wellness. Heart disease remains the leading cause of death among women in the United States; though 80% of heart disease can be prevented through lifestyle choices, some female life experiences and genetics play a key role in heart health long-term.
