In celebration of Heart Month, the Westborough Public Library presents Dr. Malissa Wood, author of Smart at Heart: A Holistic 10-Step Approach to Preventing and Healing Heart Disease for Women. She will be speaking about her new book on Wednesday, Feb. 1 at 7 p.m.

Heart disease is the number one killer of women, causing one in three deaths each year. According to a revolutionary study by Harvard-trained cardiologist Malissa Wood, true cardiovascular health must address the whole heart – its physical, emotional and spiritual aspects. Her findings form the basis of Smart at Heart, a breakthrough mind-body approach to preventing and healing heart disease by strengthening the ten “bridges” that create total heart health.

Wood is the co-director of the Corrigan Women’s Heart Health Program at Massachusetts General Hospital and sits on the board of the Northeast affiliate of the American Heart Association. Copies of her book will be available for purchase and autographing.

This program is free and open to the public. For more information, call the library at 508-366-3050.
