Heart Sisters featured in Heart Month interviews

4 Feb

 

Every month, the U.S. government’s ’Office On Women’s Health’ newsletter Healthy Women Today features a column called Spotlight on Women’s Health.  This monthly column includes interviews with medical professionals or people living with a variety of medical conditions.

“We ask the questions we know you’re interested in, so that we may provide an inside look at women’s health,” their editor explains.

February is Heart Month - and to mark this important awareness initiative for women, the Healthy Women Today editor interviewed me for their February issue about being misdiagnosed and sent home from the E.R. during my heart attack.

Read the interview, or you can subscribe to their free monthly e-newsletter.  And to read the same story in a different place, check out another Heart Month interview in the February issue of Alive: Canada’s Natural Health & Wellness magazine.
