UnityPoint Health and Trinity Health Foundation will host the 17th annual V.R. Alla Community Health Symposium, a free event focusing on heart health, on Wednesday, Sept. 24.
Dr. Alyas Chaudhry, of Cardiac Surgery Associates, S.C., will present “The History of Medicine, Where We are Today, and What’s Coming in the Future,” from 5:30-7 p.m. at Bally’s Quad Cities Casino & Hotel, 777 Bally Blvd., Rock Island.
Dr. Chaudhry will discuss the evolution of medical innovation and offer actionable tips for preventing heart disease and maintaining good heart health.
“Looking back at the history of medicine gives us valuable perspective on the advances we benefit from today,” Dr. Chaudhry said. “My hope is that attendees walk away with not only a better understanding of medical progress, but also practical steps they can take right now to protect their health.”
Heart-healthy appetizers will be served.
