Estrogen plays a vital role in protecting the heart, brain, bones, blood vessels, mood, and overall well-being. As estrogen levels change with age and menopause, symptoms such as hot flashes, sleep problems, fatigue, memory changes, and shifts in heart and bone health are not simply “normal aging,” but signs of real biological change that deserve attention. The presentation encourages women to better understand their bodies and feel empowered to seek informed, individualized care that supports healthy aging and quality of life.\nDr. Norris will lead a Q&A session from 2:45 to 3:15 pm to answer your questions and deepen your understanding of women’s heart health.\n\n \n3:30 to 4:15 p.m. – Reducing Your Risk: A Practical Approach to Heart Health for Senior Women\nPresented by Lisa Gerard, Primary Care Alberta\nAs we age, our heart health needs change, but it is never too late to make a positive difference. This interactive session is designed for senior women and focuses on practical ways to protect your heart, recognize warning signs, and make everyday choices that support long-term heart health. You will leave with simple, useful tips to help you feel confident and empowered in your heart wellness journey.\n \n\nMEET THE PRESENTERS\nColleen Norris\nDr. Norris is a registered nurse and professor in the Faculty of Nursing, with adjunct appointments in the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry and the School of Public Health.
