Brownwood News – February is Heart Month.  In conjunction with that, a program will be presented Thursday, February 27, in Brownwood, entitled “Living a Heart Healthy Life with Diabetes.”

Kelly Taylor is a Registered Nurse, Dietician and Certified Diabetes Educator for Hendrick Diabetes Center.  “Diabetes and heart disease go hand in hand.  65% of people with diabetes have a risk of developing cardiovascular disease or stroke by the time they enter into their older years.  We thought it would be appropriate, during heart month, to have a program talking about that and some of the ways we can reduce the risk of development of cardiac disease,” Taylor said.

The program Thursday will be start at 5:30 pm at Hendrick Medical Plaza, 2371 Crockett Drive, Suite 100.  It is free to attend.

Enter the building through the Hendrick Education Center on the left side of the building toward the back.
