This event takes place at the JBJ Soul Kitchen in Toms River (1769 Hooper Ave, Toms River, NJ 08753). Our heart beats around 100,000 times a day, pumping 2,000 gallons of blood throughout our body. As we age, we are more likely to experience certain heart conditions, including heart failure. Join Susanna Philips DNP, APRN, FNP-C, Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus, and Melanie Vernacchia, MSN, APN, OCN, Nurse Practitioner, Geriatrics and Palliative Care, Clinical Director of the James and Sharon Maida Geriatrics Institute at Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus, as they discuss heart failure. We will explore some of the risk factors for heart failure, signs and symptoms, and small changes you can make that can have a big impact at any age and stage of the condition.
