Heart Month: Lucy's Story
Mission Hospital and the physicians at Asheville Cardiology Associates saved Lucy after a widowmaker heart attack.
February is Heart Month ❤️ This month brings a new focus for Lucy, who is grateful to be here today after surviving a widowmaker heart attack in April 2024. With no warning signs, no family history, and no prior health concerns, she never imagined she'd end up in the ICU at Mission Hospital - but thanks to the expert care and life-saving treatment, she's here today to share her story. "I am only here today because of the grace of God and the care I received at Mission Hospital. From the emergency team to the nurses and doctors, I felt like a VIP. They saved my life," said Lucy. Now Lucy is committed to her health - exercising regularly, eating less processed food, and managing stress. Her message? Take your heart health seriously, even if you think you're "healthy."
