HCA Healthcare/HealthONE’s Swedish Medical Center Takes a Shot at Fundraising for Heart Health
The level I trauma center will be holding its first annual heart health awareness basketball event. Proceeds from the event will fund the American Heart Association Heart and Stroke Walk.
Englewood, CO, February 22, 2019 --(PR.com)-- HCA Healthcare/HealthONE’s Swedish Medical Center invites the community to watch their cardiologists face off against their hospital administration in a basketball game to promote heart health during American Heart Month.
“Heart disease can be prevented before it needs advanced treatment by maintaining healthy habits, like keeping a healthy weight, staying active and following a healthy diet,” said Denise Mathias, vice president of cardiovascular services at Swedish Medical Center. “Minor changes can make a big difference, which is why raising awareness is so important.”
In addition to the fun event, spectators can enjoy a halftime performance by the Englewood High School cheer team.
Tickets are $5 at the door and all proceeds will go toward the American Heart Association Heart and Stroke Walk.
The event will take place Tuesday, February 26, at 5:30 pm and will be held at Englewood High School, 3800 S. Logan St.
Parking is available at the front entrance of the school.
