A local event aims to empower women to take control of their heart health by providing education and support.
Nell Lester thought she was suffering from a severe toothache but her dental issue led to her finding out she was having a heart attack. Sharing her story and a panel discussion with health care professionals about signs of heart disease was the purpose of “Lima Women Have Heart”. According to the American Heart Association, the disease kills one woman approximately every 80 seconds. Heart disease is preventable and it’s important for women to take the signs seriously.
