Is cholesterol really as bad as we’ve been told? And what do your cholesterol numbers actually mean for your heart health?

Join us for an informative Wellness Wednesday as Dr. Gaurav Sharma breaks down the truth about cholesterol—what it is, why it matters, when it becomes dangerous, and how to manage it effectively. He’ll also highlight the latest cholesterol management guidelines and what they mean for your cardiovascular health.

Why should adults 65+ attend?

As we age, our risk for heart disease and stroke increases, making cholesterol management an important part of healthy aging. Learn how to:

  • Understand your cholesterol numbers and what they mean.
  • Recognize the connection between cholesterol, heart disease, and stroke.
  • Explore the role of nutrition, physical activity, and medications in managing cholesterol.
  • Learn about updated recommendations and how treatment decisions may change with age.
  • Feel more confident having conversations with your healthcare provider about your heart health.

Knowledge is power when it comes to protecting your heart! Whether you have high cholesterol, take cholesterol-lowering medication, or simply want to stay proactive about your health, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

Community members do not need to be JCC members to attend. These sessions are free and open to the public as part of Rochester Regional Health’s commitment to empowering and supporting the health of our community.
Registration is required. You may register online in advance or sign in the same day at check-in. We never want registration to be a barrier-everyone is welcome.
