Meriter Classes and Events

Welcome

Ladies' Night Out: Wine. Food. Friends.

Join us at Olbrich Botanical Gardens for an evening of great food and wine paired with inspiring discussions about keeping yourself heart healthy.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in women. Education and awareness are the first steps in finding a solution to this serious problem. Throughout the evening, our experienced and knowledgeable Meriter Women's HeartCare team will discuss steps you can take toward enjoying a more heart-healthy lifestyle. The topics will be tailored to women's needs and range from heart disease and risk factors to the heart-healthy benefits of a Mediterranean lifestyle.
