Buncombe Life

In this special edition of Buncombe Life, join Kathy Hughes as she discusses the many issues that Buncombe County faces with Heart Health, and all the wonderful resource we have available. This episode would not have been possible without the help of Mission Hospital, whose doctors and nurses provided interviews to let you know about all the health care options available to the citizens of Buncombe County.

In this episode we’ll follow along with Glenn and Randy, two patients who experienced heart emergencies; we’ll interview Frank Castelblanco, RN, Director of Cardiac Emergencies with Mission Hospital; we sit down with Buncombe County EMS Training Officer Jamie Judd; we’ll join Mary Richards, the Program Director of Heart Path; talk to Dr. Brad Friedman on pediatric heart health; and finally we’ll join Buncombe County’s Deanna Beefus, RN, to talk about the importance of ‘Knowing Your Numbers’ and what it even means. So sit back, relax and enjoy this special edition of Buncombe Life on a subject that affects us all, heart health.
