KCH and Hamot Heart Forum February 10

February is National Heart Month and KCH & Hamot Heart Institute will host their annual Heart Forum Wednesday, February 10, 5:30–7 :30 p.m. at St. Callistus Hall on Chase Street in Kane.

The forum is a “Heart to Heart” discussion about heart disease, the number one killer of both men and women in the U.S. Each year between 1.2 million and 1.5 million people in the U.S. suffer a serious heart attack. More than 500,000 die.

The event is open to the public.

Speakers include keynote Kelly Hayes, M.D., Cardiologist, Hamot Heart Institute and Hamot Heart for Women, whose talk is entitled “Women need Stents too.”

Val Jackson, Regional Director of Hamot Heart Institute will present a heart disease risk assessment tool and walk participants through it. We all have certain factors that increase the risk of developing heart disease. Some of these risk factors are controllable and some are not and this session will help determine the difference and provide guidance on a plan to mitigate risks moving forward.

Jessica McDivitt, Manager of Cardiac Rehab and Wellness will talk about the Cardiac Rehab Program at KCH and Emily Zimmerman, Cardiac Rehab instructor will talk about the many health and fitness options for maintaining a healthy heart at KCH.

There will also be an opportunity for questions, materials regarding heart disease, and a heart healthy snack.

Everyone is welcome to attend the free forum. Pre-registration is required. Please call KCH Cardiac Rehab at 837-4779 to reserve a place and ask about KCH’s special reduced rate heart disease screening available to those registering.

For $22, registered participants can receive a fasting Lipids and Glucose screening done at the KCH lab followed by additional free screens {Body Mass Index (BMI), Blood Pressure, and history} at the KCH Cardiac Rehab and Wellness Center. The results of these screens will provide participants with current numbers needed to determine their risk of heart disease.

In some cases participants can use the results of a recent multiphasic for their lipids and glucose numbers. Using the most current testing produces the most accurate assessment. If you are unable to have the special testing you can still have the additional screens performed at the Cardiac Rehab Center and you can bring your Multiphasic results with you to the forum.

Call 837-4779 to reserve your space. Start the new year with vital information, a heart disease risk assessment and a plan to maintain or embrace a healthy heart and lifestyle.

Sadly Herbert never witnessed how great his team would become; dying prematurely from pneumonia in January 1934, midway through Arsenal’s hat-trick of titles that would conclude with victory in the 1934-35 season. (Incidentally, Chapman had already guided Arsenal to the top in 1930-31).

It took the onset of all-seater stadia, and England’s thrilling, but ultimately heartbreaking, World Cup semi-final run in 1990 to re-ignite the public’s love for the game. The resurgence was swifter than anyone could have imagined as a nation, inspired by Gazza’s tears, regained its love for the game; so much so that by the time Leeds United became champions in 1991-92 big business was beginning to take an interest and the game in England was about to be overhauled. [url=http://www.taobet.com]football bet[/url] In 1955 the first in a series of tournaments that was to become the Euro Cup was put together by representatives of the sport from Switzerland, Italy, and England. This competition, known as the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, was only for teams representing European cities that held trade fairs. The earliest Fairs Cup games coincided with the trade fairs from which the competition got its name.

The Liverpool club was ultimately to win five Euro Cups, but events surrounding their final championship game resulted in the exclusion of English clubs from the Cup for the next five years. This fateful game, played between Liverpool and the Italian Juventus club in 1985, saw the deaths of 39 fans after an altercation in the stands led to the collapse of one of the stadiums walls.

It is a structure that provides larges amounts of capitol to all the clubs, but favors those who finish in the top five as they get more money for their league finish as well as more money for playing in more televised games.
