York Hospital Cardiologist Dr. Jonathan Bridges to Present Lunch and Learn on Aortic Stenosis

In recognition of American Heart Month this February, York Hospital is pleased to announce that Dr. Jonathan Bridges, a board-certified cardiologist, will present “Your Heart Health: Understanding Aortic Stenosis.” This lunch-and-learn program will be held on Feb. 5, 2025, from 11 a.m. to noon, at the South Berwick Senior Center, 71 Norton St., South Berwick, Maine.

The event is open to the public with a light lunch provided by the Senior Center to follow. There is no cost to attend, but reservations are required. For more information or to reserve a seat, contact the South Berwick Senior Center at (207) 384-3310, Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Aortic stenosis is a condition where the aortic valve narrows, obstructing blood flow and potentially leading to serious health complications if left untreated. Dr. Bridges will highlight symptoms, risk factors, and the benefits of early diagnosis. He will also explain the latest treatment options, including the innovative TAVR procedure, a minimally invasive option for patients with severe aortic stenosis who may not be candidates for traditional surgery.

"American Heart Month is a great time to raise awareness about often-overlooked heart conditions like aortic stenosis," said Dr. Jonathan Bridges. "I encourage people to attend this session to learn more about advancements in heart care, such as TAVR, that are improving patient outcomes and helping individuals live longer, healthier lives."
