We are excited to host the second annual Health Heart Lunch and Learn on Thursday, February 20, 2020 from noon to 1 pm at the Plaza Conference Room located at 113 Airport Rd.  [The conference room is the first door on the right when you enter the building.]  The event will feature departments of the hospital dedicated to heart patients, as well as speaker Dr. V.
