It is widely known that heart disease still remains the leading cause of death in both men and women, but did you know that up to 80 percent of heart disease is preventable? Lisa Hinton, the Executive Director of American Heart Association’s Metro Chicago joins us in this week’s episode to talk about this non-profit organization’s combat against cardiovascular diseases and stroke through public health advocacy and education. Possessing a leadership role, Lisa Hinton is a strong believer that the best leaders do not focus on the things people can do for them, but what they can do to serve the people. She also brings attention to the fact that Chicago has the largest life expectancy gap in the country, and touches on how we can decrease this gap through research based solutions and treatments. Tune in to learn more about Lisa Hinton’s distinct leadership approach, and the initiatives she takes to make a collective impact on the health of our communities.
