Press release from JCMC:

Feb. 8, 2023

Jersey City Medical Center, an affiliate of RWJBarnabas Health, announced it is hosting an event in honor of American Heart Month. The roundtable will include the following panelists: Mary Abed, M.D. chief of cardiology, cardiologist Rima Patel, M.D., Patricia Chau, M.D. from the obstetrics and gynecology department, and Kristin Carlino, a registered dietitian for the Medical Center’s Green Apple Rx Food FARMacy.

The Medical Center encourages women to attend the roundtable and hear from physicians and wellness experts on risk factors for heart disease and other cardiac illnesses. Understanding and evaluating ways to better one’s heart health, such as learning simple nutrition can change an adult women’s life.

“American Heart Month is in February, but our cardiovascular health is important every day. We’re providing guidance at this roundtable, but it’s important for individuals to follow up with their primary-care doctors for regular check-ups and learn about risk factors for heart disease,” said Dr. Abed.

The event will take place on Wednesday, Feb. 22 from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. at Jersey City Medical Center at 350 Montgomery St., First Floor, Auditorium. For those interested, please RVSP by clicking here.
