Faye from Atlanta shares why heart health is so important to her, especially for women. She emphasizes that while breast cancer receives a lot of attention, heart disease is the leading cause of death for women, and more focus is needed to address this serious issue.
With a family history of heart disease, Faye is committed to being proactive about her own health. “If there’s anything I can do to be proactive, I want to do it,” she says, reflecting on the progress that clinical research has made and how it can save lives.
Faye also highlights the value of community health screenings, like Future of Medicine, especially for underserved populations. “Some communities are underserved. Events like this can help those people.”
