Dinner with the Doctor -Obesity and Heart Disease

Nearly 70% of American adults are either overweight or obese. Being obese puts you at a higher risk for serious health problems. Join Dr. Gary Gabelman, a board-certified cardiologist with Lawrence Medical Associates and NewYork-Presbyterian/Lawrence Hospital, to learn about “Obesity and Heart Disease”. Dr. Gabelman will discuss how obesity can affect cholesterol levels, increase blood pressure, lead to diabetes and increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. Learn what you can do to reduce your risk and start living healthier.

A light “heart healthy” dinner will be served. This event is free so bring a friend. Register online soon as space is limited.
