Dr. Dearing’s presentation will explain the health disparities surrounding heart disease in women. Despite public health efforts, women still don’t see themselves at risk for a heart attack or heart disease.  Learn about all that Saint Joseph College is doing to raise awareness of gender differences in heart attack symptoms, severity and survival, and the steps you can take to make informed
decisions that will improve your cardiovascular health.

Dr. Natalie Dearing joined the faculty at Saint Joseph
College’s School of Pharmacy in 2010. She holds a Pharm.D. from Howard University College of Pharmacy, Nursing and Allied Health Sciences; and a bachelor of science degree in Biology from George Mason University.
