Local community clubs and groups will also be there to highlight the many and varied activities available locally that contribute to overall heart health and wellbeing.
Heartfest will finish with a free public talk that evening from 7 – 8:30 pm at Croí House on ‘ Self-Care is Heart Care – The Power of Knowing Your Numbers and Taking Action’, with experts: Dr Susan Connolly, Consultant Cardiologist; Dr Lisa Hynes, Health Psychologist and Croí’s Head of Health Programmes; and Frankie Lane, who will share his story of heart disease and recovery.
