THE WOODLANDS, Texas -- Take heart and know your risk. Houston Methodist The Woodlands Hospital is inviting residents of Montgomery County to receive free heart-risk screenings and valuable heart-health information on Tuesday, February 5 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Join heart experts at Houston Methodist The Woodlands Hospital for:

• Free heart screenings, including cholesterol and blood pressure readings

• Informative lectures about your heart health

• Physician Q&A

Physicians with Houston Methodist DeBakey Heart & Vascular Associates – Drs. Paul Cunningham, Ali Rizvi and Rajesh Venkataraman – will share valuable information on topics including: Understanding Your 10-year Heart Risk Assessment, Peripheral Arterial Disease and A-Fib and Blood Thinners.

Dr. Nisha Sidhwani, a specialist in primary care and family medicine with Houston Methodist Primary Care Group in The Woodlands, will also educate guests on ways to maintain a heart-healthy lifestyle and the importance of developing a relationship with a primary care physician.

“We hosted this heart event for the first time last year and it was a resounding success, as we welcomed more than 120 residents from Montgomery, Conroe and The Woodlands,” said Paul Cunningham, MD, chair of cardiology. “We are excited to host this event again during American Heart Month, as we know many people are eager to learn about their risk for heart disease. And, it is an opportunity for the community to learn about the first-class, comprehensive cardiovascular care offered at Houston Methodist The Woodlands.”

Houston Methodist The Woodlands Hospital is located at 17201 Interstate 45 South in The Woodlands. The event will be held in the conference center on the third floor with refreshments and light bites provided. Visit houstonmethodist.org/heart-event to reserve your spot.
