Dr. Backs said that "[his] own personal health went through a dramatic makeover starting in May of 2012. I now provide a more credible example for my patients, and I am able to understand the challenges they face in achieving a healthier lifestyle."

Six of every ten Americans who have suffered a heart attack never knew they had cardiovascular disease. To register for these event, please contact Memorial's Healthline at 217-788-3333.
