Today, we had the pleasure of hosting our Go Red event at Pocahontas Community Hospital, an occasion dedicated to raising awareness about women’s heart health and supporting those affected by cardiovascular diseases. The event featured a remarkable presentation by Brian Farrell, a Nurse Practitioner from Trinity Heart Center, at UPH Fort Dodge. Who enlightened us on the topic of spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD).

Brian's presentation was very informative, shedding light on this serious condition that affects many individuals, often without warning. His expertise provided valuable insights into the causes, symptoms, and potential treatments for SCAD, empowering attendees with knowledge that could make a difference in their lives or the lives of their loved ones.

We were also honored to have Becky Schossow as our special guest and survivor speaker. Becky bravely shared her personal journey with SCAD, recounting her experiences and the challenges she faced. She captivated the audience with her heartfelt and humorous story that left a lasting impression on the audience.

The Go Red event was a powerful reminder of the need for continued advocacy, education, and support for heart health. We thank all our speakers, participants, and the entire staff at PCH for making this event a success and for their commitment to raising awareness about heart disease. Together, we can make a difference and inspire others to prioritize their heart health. Reminder to all that 80% of heart disease is preventable and we encouraged everyone to take small steps each day to be more heart healthy.
