Feb. 10: Heart Health from the Inside Out: A Prevention-First Approach

With Gregory Lang, PA-C, MCHS, clinical lead of the Summit Health Cardiometabolic Clinic

Join us for an interactive, roundtable-style session exploring what truly supports long-term heart health. Drawing on clinical cardiology experience and evidence-based prevention principles, this presentation connects the dots between cardiometabolic health, movement, nutrition, sleep, and everyday lifestyle habits. The discussion will highlight modern approaches to understanding cardiovascular risk, along with realistic, sustainable ways to build more movement into daily life. Come ready to listen, ask questions, and leave with a clearer picture of how small, consistent choices can make a meaningful difference in protecting and strengthening heart health at any stage of life. This presentation is part of BPRD’s Heart Health Week series.
