The annual Unity Health Heart to Heart Fireside Chat event was recently held at Harding University Cone Chapel and more than 170 were in attendance. Educating women on the importance of heart health, the event featured a vendor fair of informational and retail booths, a luncheon and a personal story from Unity Heath Ambassador, Karen Churchill and a fireside chat with cardiologist Katherine Durham, M.D., and heart disease survivor, Katie Sheffield. Together, they discussed Sheffield’s story and how it reflects several of the same characteristics that Durham sees in many of her patients. Durham was happy to answer audience questions and reminded attendees of the importance of heart health and the proper steps to take toward living a healthier lifestyle. Survivors of heart episodes were also celebrated.

Platinum Heart Sponsor was Medtronic, Silver Sponsor was Pfizer and Bronze Sponsors included Tara & Co. Diamonds and Unity Health Carousel Gift Shop.
