Ascension Illinois physicians hosting free webinars in August and September

Join Ascension Illinois in August and September for a pair of free webinars hosted by clinicians passionate about keeping communities across Chicagoland informed about their health.

On August 12, Dr. Kifah Hussain is hosting a webinar about similarities and differences between women's & men's heart health, aiming to provide the audience with actionable strategies to reduce cardiovascular risk and promote lifelong wellness

“Join us for a discussion that will challenge misconceptions and provide practical tips to help you and your loved ones stay heart healthy,” said Dr. Hussain.

The event runs from 6 to 7 p.m. and attendees can expect to learn about differences in symptoms and risk factors for men and women, as well as how these distinctions can help people recognize their individual risk and make informed decisions about their health.

On September 8, also from 6 to 7 p.m., Dr. Ankur Dave will be hosting a webinar about all the treatment options that exist to help alleviate back pain.

“As a pain physician, I know that living with back pain affects far more than your spine—it can impact your sleep, mobility, work, and overall quality of life,” said Dr. Dave. “Understanding why back pain persists and learning about today's treatment options can help you make informed decisions and take meaningful steps toward improving your daily life.”

During this event, Dr. Dave will discuss lifestyle management and nonsurgical, minimally invasive options that can help reduce pain, improve function, and return you back to activities you enjoy.
