Deborah’s 8th Annual Women’s Health EXPO

A variety of Deborah physicians – representing various specialties – will join with a host of other health professionals to provide health screenings to the more than 1,000 women expected to attend.

“Each year we work in conjunction with the American Heart Association’s Wear Red Day,” said Renee Bullock-Palmer, M.D., Director of the Women’s Heart Center. “We want to raise awareness about the need to fight heart disease in women.”

Joining Dr. Palmer will be Denise Zingrone, D.O., Associate Director of the Women’s Heart Center; Jenine Vecchio, M.D., Director, Deborah Specialty Physicians Diabetes Center; Navdeep Brar, M.D., Attending Pulmonologist; and Sara Sirna, M.D., Attending Cardiologist.

“Bringing together the expertise of pulmonology, cardiology, endocrinology, and diabetes, we can really offer our visitors a full picture of what it takes for a woman to stay ‘heart healthy,’” she added. “We are really looking forward to the one-on-one time with our visitors.”

Screenings Deborah’s staff will provide include: blood pressure; glucose; body fat analysis; pulmonary function testing; balance; cholesterol/lipid panels; sleep apnea; asthma information; peripheral arterial disease assessment; bariatrics; and wound and lung cancer information.
