Heart Disease, Know Your risk Factors

Today, both of our student guests have family ties to our club. Faith Reisig is a senior at Scottsbluff. She is the granddaughter of Steve Reisig and plans on attending The American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA) in New York City. Our Gering senior is Jacob Wolfe, daughter of member Dawne Wolfe and husband Jeff. Jacob plans on getting his associates degree from W.N.C.C. in Sidney in Aircraft Maintenance and then go on to Aircraft management with the hope of managing an airport. Our program today is Cindy McCumbers, a nurse practitioner from the University of Colorado Health Organization. Her presentation was entitled ‘Heart Disease: Know Your Risk Factors’. She defined Coronary Artery Disease. She explained what symptoms men and women experience and how they can be different. Finally she went over the risk factors and talked about those factors which you can modify with behavior.
