Love Your Heart Lecture with Matthew Brennan
Matthew Brennan presented our 2019 Love Your Heart Lecture at the Durham Center for Senior Life on February 12. He was highly engaging and well received by the attendees. He made his presentation between cases in the Cath Lab and we thank him for doing so! We appreciate when our clinical providers and other staff members take time to spread important heart health messages throughout Durham. Events such as this one held throughout the Triangle represent important opportunities to show our commitment to the towns in which we all live and work. Great job, Matt!
