LA GRANDE – (Release from Grande Ronde Hospital) In recognition of American Heart Month, Grande Ronde Hospital & Clinics (GRH) invites the community to a free, interactive Cardiology Doc Talk featuring cardiologist Gerrie Gardner, DO, FACC, FACP, and members of GRH’s cardiology team. Attendees will also hear from GRH’s Rehabilitation Therapy and Nutrition teams about how they support heart health through recovery, movement, and everyday lifestyle strategies.
The evening is designed to be educational and approachable, with time for questions and conversation. Topics will include common heart-related conditions, treatment options, and guidance on when it’s time to seek medical help. Heart-healthy refreshments will be served.

It’s about having a team around you—specialty care, rehabilitation, and nutrition support—working together to help people feel better, stay active, and live well,” said Karrine Brogoitti, GRH Director of Communications & Marketing. “This Doc Talk is a chance for our community to ask questions, learn practical information, and connect with local experts in a relaxed setting.”
