Have you heard about valvular heart diseases?
Valvular heart diseases are dysfunctions of the doors that direct blood flow within the heart. These diseases affect hundreds of thousands of people in Canada.
Heart valve problems are often undetected, and late detection may have severe consequences.
A free screening conducted by the Ottawa Heart Institute is being hosted by the UOV
Senior’s Friendship Club for people 65+ with no known heart issues.

The mobile screening program offers early detection, diagnosis and treatment.
To participate in upcoming clinic on April 30 at Real Hope Christian Assembly, 33019 Hwy 17 Deep River, please call 613-696-7412 or email at heartvalve@ottawaheart.ca
Limited space available. Future clinic dates will be booked based on need.
