Women's Health Series: Cardiometabolic Health
Thursday, February 6th at 7 PM CST
SAAPRI is hosting our second webinar in the Women's Health Series focusing on cardiometabolic health specifically tailored for women, which encompasses maintaining a healthy heart, managing and preventing diabetes, and addressing metabolic diseases. Cardiometabolic diseases are a group of interrelated conditions—including diabetes, high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol levels, and obesity—that increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. We will be focusing on the importance of maintaining a healthy heart and metabolism. Our expert speakers will cover topics like heart disease, diabetes, and ways to improve your overall well-being.
