Heart disease affects millions of Americans. It’s the leading cause of death for both men and women, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Experts believe engaging in mindfulness activities can help improve heart health. That’s why it’s important to talk about the heart and the mind together.On May 8, Beaumont Hospital, Troy, will host an event, “Living Well: How to Maintain a Healthy Heart and Mind” in the Qazi Auditorium within the Moceri Learning Center, 44201 Dequindre in Troy. Doors open at 5 p.m. and presentations begin at 5:45 p.m.
"Our patients often talk with us about heart health and mental health. This event will help us support our community. We look forward to sharing knowledge that will assist patients and families who want to take an active role in their health and wellness," Beaumont, Troy, President Nancy Susick, RN, said.
