Know Your Genetic Health History

 (REMINDER) - See attached flier and Register at http://bit.ly/BHMvirtualprogram92 for tomorrow morning's event!



Dear Family and Friends:

Hope you are all keeping safe and well during this pandemic.  I want invite you to a FREE virtual health and wellness event that my local Jack and Jill group is having on Saturday, September 26th at 10:00 a.m. Central. We are co-hosting this event with Black Health Matters and Alnylam Pharmaceuticals.

About 1 in every 25 of African Americans carries a gene mutation that puts them at increased risk for developing an inherited, progressively debilitating heart disease called hereditary ATTR (hATTR) amyloidosis.  This is an often-fatal condition that disproportionally impacts our community.
 
“Know Your Genetic Health History” will include a presentation by a cardiologist and a patient ambassador, information on how to get hATTR genetic testing, and a Q&A session.

Please attend this important information session by:

Thank you,

Linette Fielding Roach
