Complimentary Heart Failure Patient Day Health Fair

Did you know? Heart failure is the only major cardiovascular disorder on the rise, and has approximately 670,006 new cases diagnosed annually in the United States? Did you know Heart Failure can impact anyone at any age, but is prominent in women and minorities?

Join the Heart Failure Society of America (HFSA), in collaboration with The American Association of Heart Failure Nurses (AAHFN) on Saturday, September 26, 2015, from 9:30 AM to 3:00PM, for the Heart Failure Patient Day Health Fair, an opportunity to connect patients and caregivers to multi-disciplinary heart failure experts, invaluable resources, and heart failure education.

The purpose of this Heart Failure Patient Day Health Fair is to:

• Promote heart failure health awareness
• Increase self-assessment abilities through interactive learning experiences
• Encourage participants to assume responsibility for their own health choices through development of a personal wellness plan for maximizing heart health throughout life
• Reassure and encourage participants to continue healthy behaviors
• Increase understanding of available heart failure healthcare and health promotion resources

The Heart Failure Patient Day Registration is complimentary and is based on a first come first serve basis. Early registration is recommended as limited seating is available for the event.

Heart failure is not commonly understood and often not recognized by patients and clinicians due to the multiple symptoms and complexity of the disease. HFSA and AAHFN are working to educate the public and to raise awareness of the condition.
