Let's Beat Women's Heart Disease Together

One in three women die from heart disease, ten times more than breast cancer, yet heart disease is preventable if detected with a simple screening.  

Ellis Medicine is leading the effort to beat heart disease in our community with a prevention program designed specifically for women.  The Women and Heart Disease program features a simple heart screening to identify women at risk of heart disease and help keep them healthy.  It’s the first program of its type in the region, and provides a comprehensive assessment in a single appointment.

Get Screened

The good news is that heart disease can often be prevented or treated if detected early. With the preventive heart screening from Ellis, women will receive:

• an evaluation of their personal risk factors for heart disease;
• a consultation on the results from their risk assessment during the appointment, and;
• referrals to specialists (e.g., cardiologist, nutritionist, diabetes educator), if applicable.

With just one appointment, women can understand their risk for heart disease and take the first steps towards a healthier life. There are some important health numbers that women should be aware of to live a heart healthier life.
