We had a wonderful time attending the Bold and Balance Women’s Health Conference in Red Oak, Texas! Family Heart team member Misty Votaw and Family Heart Ambassador Chuck Lane had the opportunity to engage with attendees and share information and resources on familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and high lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a). Conversations like these help more people understand inherited risk factors for atherosclerosis and take informed steps with their healthcare team.

Join us Monday for our Empower Lp(a) Community Meeting! Family Heart Ambassador Susan Ward will host this special session featuring Anandita Kulkarni, MD, Clinical Associate Professor at Texas A&M University College of Medicine, and Family Heart Ambassador Aditi Durga. Together, they’ll discuss Lipoprotein(a), stroke prevention, and answer your questions in an open, supportive conversation. Bring your questions and leave with more knowledge for your Lp(a) journey! 🔗 Register Here: https://bit.ly/42chgaZ #KnowLpa #StrokeAwarenessMonth
