The Halo\u00a0Foundation recently handed over a cheque of EC$5000 to the Heart and Stroke\u00a0Foundation, as a contribution to their initial slate of activities.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Their Excellencies Sir Rodney and Lady Williams assumed patronage this month, of the newly-established Heart and Stroke Foundation of Antigua and Barbuda. This brings the number of\u00a0organisations of which they are Patrons to thirty-seven.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cWe are extremely committed to helping\u00a0organisations that are set on making a real difference nationwide\u201d, commented Lady Williams, President and\u00a0Founder of Halo. “It is quite important that every effort is made to give back, whenever possible\u201d.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

President of the Heart and Stroke Foundation, Consultant Cardiologist Dr. Georgette Meade, said that\u00a0\u201cpersons are often not well informed on matters of the heart, and having some key\u00a0pointers may help to save a life\u201d. \u00a0She continued that the organisation\u00a0\u201cis comprised of a group of vibrant, like-minded individuals who all have a vested interest in this particular area\u201d.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Governor General H.E. Sir Rodney Williams spoke of the similarity of the causes of both conditions. He congratulated Dr. Meade on this initiative, and emphasised the need for prevention, through awareness building and the discouragement of certain risk factors such as cigarette smoking, obesity, stress, \u00a0and physical inactivity.<\/p>\n

The Heart and Stroke\u00a0Foundation has several planned media events during the month of February, including weekly\u00a0Monday segments on the ABS morning show, and a series of radio interviews. A\u00a0Cardiac Symposium was recently hosted by Dr. Meade and Dr.Elric Winter,\u00a0visiting cardiologist from Montreal, Canada . The symposium focused on the evaluation and management of common cardiac diseases found in\u00a0Antigua and Barbuda.<\/p>
