Baptist Women's Heart Opens in New Location

September 10, 2004 -- Baptist Heart Services, a division of Baptist Medical Center in Jackson, Miss., created Baptist Women's Heart, a program devoted to assess women's risk for heart disease, their number one killer. The new clinic is located in the Colonnades Medical Office Building, 501 Marshall Street, Jackson, Miss.

For five years, Baptist Heart Services has conducted Every Day Heart Day, a low-cost physician directed, definitive diagnostic heart screening program. Sixty-one percent of participants screened have been women, and sixty percent of those women were identified as having multiple risk factors for heart disease.

Statistics show one of every three American women is dying of heart disease. Through its Every Day Heart Day screening, Baptist developed a focused approach to assist women that are identified in the moderate to high-risk categories for heart disease.

Baptist Women's Heart assists women in identifying and managing factors that put them at increased risk for heart disease, their number one killer. This affordable, comprehensive screening program includes three packages: an initial $25 heart screening; follow-up evaluation of screening results and physical exam for $45; a maintenance program with an individual healthy heart plan and follow-up office visit for $30.
