The Olson Center for Women’s Health, in collaboration with Nebraska Medicine Cardiovascular Services, is set to launch a three-part discussion series dedicated to women's heart health this February. As Heart Month unfolds, the series aims to raise awareness about the unique cardiovascular risks faced by women and to provide valuable insights into prevention and care.

Each session will feature expert speakers who will delve into various topics, including the symptoms of heart disease in women, lifestyle modifications for better heart health, and the importance of regular screenings. The discussions will also highlight the latest research and advancements in cardiovascular medicine, specifically tailored to address the needs of women.

Participants will have the opportunity to engage in Q&A sessions, allowing for a deeper understanding of heart health issues. This initiative underscores the critical need for women to prioritize their cardiovascular well-being and encourages proactive measures to combat heart disease, which remains a leading cause of death among women.
