RUTHERFORD—Over 55 attendees gathered at Rutherford Regional Medical Center on Friday, February 7, for an informative and engaging Healthy Heart Screening Event. The event featured free screenings for things like glucose, blood pressure, BMI, stroke awareness, hands-on CPR training, and valuable conversations in celebration of Heart Health Awareness Month.

“It was a lot of fun,” said one of the attendees. “It was a very helpful and informative event, and we cannot wait for the next one.”

In addition to the health screenings, guests enjoyed a variety of healthy refreshments, door prizes, and giveaways. They also had the opportunity to listen to a special presentation from cardiology experts, Dr. Brian Hearon and Tara England, FNP-C, who shared vital insights into heart health and the importance of prevention.

England expressed her excitement about the event’s success, saying, “It’s inspiring to see so many community members come together to learn about heart health. The turnout shows just how much our community values wellness and taking proactive steps toward better cardiovascular health. Events like this are a wonderful way to educate and empower people to make healthier choices.”
