Event will focus on Prevention, Management and Tobacco Cessation
Carthage Area Hospital’s long-running Annual Heart Luncheon will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 19th, featuring local cardiologist, Dr. Mirza Ashraf, MD, along with a clinical expert panel discussion. The Annual Heart Luncheon is part of the hospital’s Community Engagement Series that was established in 2017 as a way for local residents to connect with providers in a casual setting where people can comfortably ask questions and engage more completely with clinicians.
The luncheon is scheduled from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., at the Carthage Elks Lodge, 511 Fulton St. The event is free and open to the public and includes a complimentary heart healthy lunch.
“We’re thrilled to have Dr. Ashraf join us once again to talk about prevention and management of Heart Disease. Hospital Pharmacist, Christopher Bradley will begin the event with a smoking cessation presentation and provide information on the hospital’s latest tobacco cessation monthly workshops. Our luncheon will conclude with an expert panel consisting of Nutritionist and Diabetes Educator, Carly Draper RD, CDN, CDE; Physical Therapist, Dr. Cheryl Tousant PT, DPT; and Clinical Pharmacist, Christopher Bradley, PharmD, RPh, MBA,” said Taylour Scanlin, Foundation & Marketing Executive Director.
