February 13, 2010 (Day): The Franklin Institute and Women's Heart Health Awareness










































The Pennsylvania Mainline Health Partners Joined the awarenss campaign for Women and Heart Disease! Philadelphia's famed Franklin Institute served as the venue for families to meet with health professionals and receive resources on how to live the heart healthiest life possible. Intertwined with all of the professional resources, participants were able to "Go Vogue" for heart health by posing for fun photographs in boas, glasses, hats, wigs and even lights! Courageous women had the opportunity to share their personal battles with Heart diease, ranging from personal survival stories to experiences with loved ones. I was even able to share my personal connection to heart disease, having lost my grandmother to the disease.
The days festivities culminated with my helping to crown the 2010 "Queen of Hearts". The Queen of Hearts is selected from a group of women who have each been impacted by heart disease in one way or another. After crowning the "Queen" I went on a walking tour through a gigantic replica of the human heart--neat-o!!

In His service...
