Talk About High Blood Pressure: Joe Montana Visits VM July 11

The Virginia Mason Heart Institute is proud to welcome long-time National Football League quarterback and Hall of Fame inductee Joe Montana Wednesday, July 11, in xxx xxxx xxx from o:00x to o:00x. Montana will share his experience with high blood pressure and its potential consequences. He will appear with Jim Zorn, Seattle Seahawks quarterbacks coach, and cardiologist Dr. James Rippe, founder and director of Rippe Health Assessment at Florida Hospital Celebration Health.

VM staff members are invited to attend the session, which will be moderated by The Heart Institute’s Michael Longo, MD. It will be broadcast by video conference to available VM locations.

While many know Montana as a four-time Super Bowl champion and one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, few realize he is one of approximately 72 million Americans with high blood pressure. Diagnosed in 2002, Montana is actively helping raise awareness about high blood pressure and encouraging patients to work with a health care professional to help set, achieve and maintain a healthier blood pressure goal.

(Joe may or may not be getting kickbacks from the drug companies for promoting Prilosec w/his Topps Hall of Fame card in every box.)
