Learn Practical Ways to Improve Your Overall Heart Health
A person’s diet has been found to be a contributing, modifiable risk factor for heart disease.

Each 90-minute class was developed by a registered dietitian nutritionist and includes both an educational component, as well as a cooking demonstration which applies the concepts presented during class.
