WISE - The Women’s Initiative South East about Heart Health
The Union County Health Center and Beverly Metze, nurse practitioner, have received a grant from the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners for a heart health initiative for uninsured women. Women will receive free physical exams, cholesterol tests, and risk factor evaluation at the health center. They will then attend six educational dinner sessions over six months on heart health topics. A free portion controlled supper will be included. Topics will include an overview of women’s heart health, exercising on a limited budget, cholesterol issues, heart healthy diets, hormones and heart health, and stress management. The Union County Library has graciously allowed the use of their conference room for these events and for planned exercise classes. This pilot project will enroll 25 uninsured women living in Franklin and Union Counties. If space permits, other non enrolled women will be welcome to attend the educational sessions and exercise classes. Please call 458-5393 to enroll or for further information.
