Heart Health Awareness: What We’re Bringing to the Community

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death for women, yet symptoms are often misunderstood, dismissed, or missed entirely. At REVIVE, our mission is to change that through education, access, and community-centered conversations.

This February, we’re bringing together healthcare professionals, wellness advocates, and community partners for Chandri’s Heart Health Expo— a free, public event designed to meet people where they are and provide information that can truly save lives.

What Will Be Covered at the Expo

❤️ Understanding Heart Disease in Women Women often experience heart disease differently than men. We’ll discuss common — and uncommon — warning signs, delayed diagnoses, and why advocacy matters.

🚨 Heart Attack & Stroke Warning Signs Knowing when to act can make the difference. Attendees will learn what symptoms require immediate attention and how to respond.

🩺 Prevention & Lifestyle Factors We’ll explore how stress, caregiving, grief, financial strain, nutrition, and access to care impact heart health — and what realistic prevention can look like.

🫀 CPR Awareness & Emergency Response Early response saves lives. We’ll review why CPR matters and how bystanders play a critical role during cardiac emergencies.

🧘🏽 Holistic & Whole-Person Wellness Heart health isn’t just physical. Conversations will include emotional health, stress management, and healing after loss.

🤝 Community Resources & Support Attendees will connect with trusted organizations offering education, advocacy, and ongoing support beyond the event.

Why This Matters

Women — especially those from underserved communities — continue to experience higher risks and poorer outcomes related to heart disease. By combining medical insight, lived experience, and community collaboration, we aim to reduce disparities and empower individuals with knowledge.
