my presentations
My first 'Pinot & Prevention Party' - November 2008
“Dear Carolyn . . . Thank you for sharing your story at last evening’s talk. Delightful, entertaining, yet serious and vitally important!”
As a heart attack survivor and a 2008 graduate of the WomenHeart Science & Leadership Symposium for Women with Heart Disease at Mayo Clinic, my hope now is to help kick some collective female butt around here.
Ooops, I mean to raise awareness of women’s heart disease, the #1 killer of women – all from the unique grassroots perspective of a Mayo Clinic-trained heart attack survivor. (Read more about that amazing Symposium experience on the Sharing Mayo Clinic website).
As my health allows, I occasionally volunteer to speak to women’s groups, health care professionals, staff wellness meetings, service club meetings, community organizations, conferences and at Heart & Stroke Foundation events in or around Victoria and Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Topics covered include women’s cardiac risk factors, how to address those risks, and heart attack symptoms that may surprise you; each talk is based on the most recent cardiology information from the Mayo Women’s Heart Clinic and other experts, and tailored to fit the specific needs and time requirements of each audience.
Get in touch with me for more information, or visit the Slide Show page for fabulous photos of some recent presentations. These talks are booked up to three months in advance due to health considerations. I usually like to bring along these gorgeous little Red Dress pins available for a minimum donation of $5 each, with 100% of all pin donations supporting the Heart & Stroke Foundation’s The Heart Truth red dress campaign to raise awareness and improve women’s heart health. You can also order your Red Dress pins online. And if you’re an American, you can order your red dress pin here.
