Half of all women will die of heart disease and yet, for reasons that are mysterious to me, heart disease in women is cloaked in a culture of secrecy. Nancy Loving is working to change that culture. Since her own heart attack at age 48, she has been a public advocate of greater public awareness and support services for women with heart disease. Ms. Loving brings a background in communications and strategic planning and expertise working in the non-profit sector to her efforts on behalf of women with heart disease. In the Pathways to Health exhibit, she shares details about her own heart attack and recovery.
Women have very busy lives.
We're taking care of our children. We're taking care of our partners. We're taking care of our parents. Often the health of our families comes first. As women, we need to step back and take care of ourselves.
