‘MEGA Heart’ visits Yuma to raise heart health awareness

The world’s only traveling, walk-through heart exhibit is making its way to the Desert Southwest to instruct the senior community on the importance of cardiovascular care.

According to the company, the MEGA Heart provides visitors with a highly interactive educational experience about America’s number one killer: heart disease. Visitors can step inside the human heart, learn about cardiovascular functions, observe examples of various types of heart disease, and see displays explaining some of the latest medical treatments for heart problems.

To take a tour of the MEGA Heart and to learn more about heart health and cancer care, attend the ‘Boomers and Beyond Living Expo’ Saturday, January 7 from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM at the Yuma Civic Center. Admission is free with an optional $2 donation benefiting local nonprofits.
