Dinner with the Doctors

The SSM Heart Institute is presenting a unique opportunity for those with heart valve disease or disorders to discuss treatment options over dinner with two of the region’s leading heart valve specialists.


Cardiothoracic surgeon David Theodoro, MD, and cardiologist Georges Chahoud, MD, both with SSM Heart Institute, will explain what causes heart valves to fail and why it’s critical to manage and treat valve problems for long-term health. Dr. Theodoro, who operates at SSM DePaul Health Center, is nationally recognized for his work in minimally invasive heart valve surgery, including his use of the da Vinci Robotic Surgery System. Dr. Chahoud is based in St. Charles County and places special emphasis on the management of valvular heart disease.


A complimentary heart-healthy dinner will be served at 6 p.m., followed by the physician discussion. This program is free, but seating is limited. Please register by calling 1-866-SSM-DOCS (1-866-776-3627) or learn more about heart valve disease and register online at www.ssmhealth.com/heart.
