February is Heart Month, and understanding your risks is one of the most powerful steps you can take toward protecting your heart. 🫀

Dr. Rodriguez-Fierro, a Clinical and Interventional Cardiologist at the West Jeff Cardiology Clinic, takes a deeper look at heart disease and explains the difference between modifiable and non modifiable risk factors.

Knowing which risks you can change, such as lifestyle habits, and which ones you cannot, like age or family history, helps you stay informed, proactive, and better prepared to care for your heart. Heart Month is the perfect time to learn more and make your health a priority.

Congratulations to our Leader of the Quarter, Dawn Ruiz!🌟

Dawn is truly the heart of our Women's Health clinic. When anyone has a problem, Dawn is the first person they turn to. Her deep knowledge of the clinic and women’s health, paired with her willingness to help anyone at any time, makes her an incredible resource.

The person who nominated her said, "She’s mastered obstetrics, gynecology, oncology, high‑risk obstetrics, and every new service line we take on, all while embodying the LCMC value of giving “a little extra.” And she does it with unmatched charm and grace. Her office has become the go‑to gathering spot at the end of the day, a testament to how much we value her presence and leadership. Every success in our clinic has Dawn’s dedication behind it."

Let's give a round of applause for our Leader of the Quarter, Dawn!💙👏
