The American College of Cardiology (ACC) is committed to improving heart health for everyone. In collaboration with Morehouse School of Medicine and with the generous support of Johnson and Johnson, the ACC extends a warm invitation to the Atlanta community to take part in the Atlanta Heart Health Fair on Tuesday, April 2 at the Atlanta Technical College - Dennard Conference Center.

Don't miss the opportunity to learn more about heart disease risk factors like peripheral artery disease (PAD), peripheral vascular disease (PVD), hypertension, and high cholesterol – which often disproportionately impact Black and Hispanic/Latinx communities. Hear from local health care providers, ACC leaders and other experts about these risks and take home simple things you can do to make healthier lifestyle choices.

The Save Legs. Change Lives.™
Mobile Unit travels to communities across the country to increase awareness and education of PAD, offer free PAD screenings, and provide participants with their individual risk score that they can discuss with their doctor. The Mobile Unit uses ABI testing to screen for risk of PAD. This quick, noninvasive test measures blood pressure in the ankle and compares it with blood pressure in the upper arm.

Mark your calendars for this informative and empowering event, as we strive to create a healthier and more heart-conscious Atlanta. Together, we can make a significant impact on heart health and well-being for our community and beyond. Many ACC leaders will be in attendance, including ACC President Hadley B. Wilson, MD, FACC, and ACC CEO Cathy Gates. Don't miss their special session at 4 p.m. ET!

Take advantage of:

• Peripheral artery disease (PAD) screening from Johnson & Johnson's Save Legs. Change Lives.™ mobile unit
• A raffle featuring Amazon gift cards and merchandise
