I was a 18 year old high school senior when my father had a heart attack. He was only 41 years old and was a fit, athletic, active duty Marine training for his fourth marathon! My world changed in a nanosecond. The medical care he received at that time saved his life and was the start of my own journey to where I am today - a primary care physician and a specialist in blood pressure treatment.
If you know me, you know that I am passionate about helping my patients, friends, coworkers and family improve their heart health. I know all too well how hard it is to balance what we "should" be doing (exercise! healthy eating! self care!) with the demands of our busy schedules. The struggle is REAL and I am living it with all of you every day. I love that by inviting you to join me on this walk, we will be doing good things for our own health but also sending a powerful message that together we can make a difference. It all starts with taking these first literal steps together.
Please consider walking along with me on October 26th! And I hope that you will not only join me yourself but that you will help amplify our impact by inviting your family and friends, too.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Cluett
