Dr. Annabel Santos Volgmann, a nationally recognized cardiologist and expert on women’s heart health, will be speaking at the Heart Smart Conference on Wednesday, February 28th at Intermountain Park City Hospital. She will be a featured speaker at the Soirée: A Night Celebrating Women’s Heart Health.

The event aims to raise awareness that heart disease is the leading cause of death in women, more than all cancers combined, but there are positive things women can do to reduce their risk of heart disease. You may.

According to the American Heart Association:

• Heart disease kills one in three women.
• Almost 45% of women over the age of 20 have some type of cardiovascular disease.
• Less than 50% of women who become pregnant in the United States have optimal cardiovascular health.
• Women experience unique life stages, such as pregnancy and menopause, that can put them at increased risk for cardiovascular disease.

Women can wear red to attend the event, which features live music, a prize raffle, a heart-themed photo booth, information tables, free blood pressure tests, an opportunity for women to print their own artwork, and more. Join us for an event that celebrates women’s heart health. Memories of the evening.

We’ll be serving hearty hors d’oeuvres and mini desserts prepared by Intermountain chefs.

Dr. Volgman is co-founder and medical director of the Rush Heart Center for Women, which opened in 2003 and was Chicago’s first heart program exclusively for women.

A Fellow of the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association, Dr. Volgmann has dedicated her career to helping women and their families live healthier lives through the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease.

Three physicians from Intermountain Park City Hospital will also speak at the event. Austin Smith, MD, director of emergency medicine; Dr. Michael B. Chen, Chief Obstetrician and Gynecologist; and Amanda Donahue, DO, cardiology.
