Educate
"Eliz's book should be required reading for all medical students and physicians ... to understand what happens to patients after our work is done."
Dr. Peter A. Fergus, Cardiologist
The Problem:
Women do not receive the same diagnostic tests, treatments, medications or interventions as men with the same risk factors.
...Improving the prevention and treatment of heart disease in women
Heart attack survivor, author and heart health educator, Eliz Greene draws on personal experience and hundreds of hours of interviews with female heart patients to provide the Patient's Perspective on Women Living with Heart Disease.
Often health care providers are unaware of the unique challenges women face when dealing with the interventions, medications and treatments for heart disease -- mostly because women don’t talk about them with their physicians.
Eliz breaks down the walls and gives health care professionals a view into what it is really like to be a woman living with heart disease.
Educational programs are great complements to Eliz's Women's Wellness Programs.
“I cannot remotely express what a
wonderful job you did speaking with
medical students and physicians at our
event …"
"You exceeded our expectations with both
the content of your presentation and your
delivery…
Yes, your story is amazing, but you bring
so much more to it than just relating
dramatic events. Your candid, warm and,
at times, humorous approach provided an
immediate connection with the audience."
