Until From Basics to Breakthroughs: Heart Valve Health and Vitality Begins

Details

Join us in raising awareness for heart valve disease! This event is a free interactive, engaging educational opportunity for community members, patients and family members of patients with valvular heart disease. All are welcome to join! 

Location: Lafayette Club | 2800 Northview Rd, Minnetonka Beach, MN 55361
Date & Time: Saturday February 22, 2025 | 11:30am - 1:15pm CT

As many as 5 million Americans are diagnosed with heart valve disease (HVD) each year—a potentially disabling and deadly disease—yet 3 out of 4 Americans know little to nothing about HVD. The seriousness of the disease, combined with the fact that symptoms are often difficult to detect or dismissed as a normal part of aging, makes this lack of awareness dangerous. Support our efforts to raise awareness about HVD and protect patient lives!
