Heading to a fish fry this evening? As you plan a visit to your favorite eatery, it's worth considering how your meal may impact your heart health. 🐟💚

Allegheny Health Network Cardiologist Dr. Indaram explains that while fish itself is often a heart-healthy choice, the way it's prepared at many fish fries can introduce concerns.

Deep-frying adds saturated fats that our bodies struggle to process, potentially leading to plaque buildup in arteries over time.

Judy’s been an AHN Grove City nurse for 37 years and has witnessed a lot of hospital firsts. Late last year, Judy became the first patient to have their knee replaced by Dr. Slipak using our new Mako joint replacement technology. On the day of her surgery, many of her colleagues checked in on her and our physical therapy team had Judy up and walking a few hours into her recovery.

Prior to surgery, Judy’s knee would barely bend and she described the pain as “horrendous.” Now, she can bend her knee 116 degrees in physical therapy and her pain is almost entirely gone. Judy no longer worries about how she’s going to get down a flight of stairs and is active at Silver Sneakers. On her first day back to work, Judy comfortably walked 26,000 steps!

Judy loves having her mobility back and wishes that she’d had the surgery sooner. If you suffer from joint pain, don’t wait!

Make an appointment with Dr. Slipak to go over your imaging and see what surgical or non-surgical treatment options are right for you: https://bit.ly/4r3URaE
