Harlingen Medical Center Observes National Heart Month With Doc Talk Lectures
- Updated: February 3, 2017
HARLINGEN – One in every four deaths is linked to heart disease. It is the leading cause of death for both men and women.
Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is the most common type of heart disease affecting Americans right now. More than 700,000 Americans will have a heart attack this year alone. The most important defense against this disease is education and knowing when you need to act!
Harlingen Medical Center, a leader in cardiovascular care, in observance of National Heart Month (February), will devote a month-long series of its Doc Talk Lectures to some of the most important medical topics related to your heart – starting Wednesday, February 1, 2017, at 6:00 p.m., in the Harlingen Medical Center Medical Office Building (MOB) Conference Room, located 5505 S. Expressway 77 in Harlingen.
