Have a Heart, Save a Heart Charity Forms New Alliances to Combat Women's Heart Disease and Announces 10th Annual Women's Heart Symposium
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Ten years ago, Dr. Nicole Weinberg, Dr. Sarina van der Zee and Dr. Alexandra Lajoie set out on a journey to educate more women about the dangers of heart disease. Few people are aware that heart disease is the number one killer of women, accounting for nearly 33% of all deaths. What started out as a modest group of local advocates has since blossomed into a growing charitable footprint. The foundation's flagship event is the annual Women's Heart Symposium (WHS), held at the stunning Hotel Casa del Mar. The event attracts top medical practitioners and celebrities from around the country, including Dr. Richard Wright of Pacific Heart Institute and actress Jennifer Beals of Flashdance and The L Word fame. Attendees watch seminars, learn about the latest methods and technology, and even participate in a live Q&A session with medical professionals.
