| With Patty. What an amazing and inspiring lady. |
I was invited to be on the panel for Prince Williams Hospital in Manassas, Virginia for their Red Dress event. The turn out was great as 75 people registered, had their cholesterol checked and were able to ask questions to the panel in regards to heart disease and stroke. I was joined on the panel by Dr. Taheri (cardiology), Dr Leet (cardiology) and Dr. Chen (Internist). Jenni Chase from WMZQ in Washington, DC emceed.

Dr. Leet founded The Commonwealth Preventative Medicine Institute – an organization offering a unique and comprehensive approach for people interested in optimizing their health and longevity. Dr. Leet felt compelled to help others avoid what he experienced and encountered with his own heart attack. The Commonwealth Preventative Medicine Institute focuses on lifestyle changes and gaining control over their cardiovascular health. Dr. Taheri is currently the vice president of Prince William County Medical Society and serves as a delegate to the Medical Society of Virginia. He is a fellow of American College of Cardiology as well as Society of Coronary Angiography and Intervention. He is board certified in Internal Medicine, Cardiovascular Disease and Interventional Cardiology. How I ended up with such a distinguished panel still amazes me.

Patty MacEwan, VP at the American Heart Association was also there to share the message of heart health with Go Red for Women. You often wonder why people go into non-profit, Patty's story was one of sadness but also ispiration for all she does in honor of the Father she lost to heart disease. She is truly an incredible lady who has gone through so much and given back with such passion. Thank you Patty!!! you are so special.
