The Foundry hosts Happy, Healthy Hearts Event supporting cardiovascular health

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – During the season of love, it’s important to remember the thing that keeps us all ticking… Our hearts!

Over the weekend the Foundry Christian Community Center did just that as it hosted its Happy, Healthy Hearts event.

Hundreds of community members gathered to jump rope and learn hands-on CPR and hear from Mrs. Kentucky International about the importance of cardiovascular health.

Mission director Shawna Wood discussed the importance of being aware of everyone’s cardiovascular health, especially this month.

“This is February, so a lot of attention is on the heart. But it’s so important because heart attacks are a killer that we just don’t think about very often. But it’s very real. And unfortunately a lot of the symptoms nobody pays attention to.”
