Jewish Unforgettable Ladies Interested in Eating Together (JULIETs) will host cardiologist Dr. Rachel Sosland for a conversation on women’s cardiovascular health.
Sosland will teach attendees about heart attack symptoms and prevention, blood pressure, cholesterol management and more.
The program will take place at Congregation Beth Torah (6100 W. 127th St., Overland Park, KS 66209) on Sunday, Oct. 27, at 12:30 p.m.
According to the American Heart Association, heart disease used to be considered only a problem for men. For decades, only men were included in heart testing and research.
Today, heart disease is recognized as the most common cause of death for both women and men in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Women’s symptoms of a heart attack sometimes are the same as men’s, but they often differ.

Jewish women (and non-Jewish women with a Jewish spouse) are invited to all JULIETs events, and no synagogue affiliation is required.
