Harris Regional Hospital will host a free Lunch & Learn event on Tuesday, August 26, from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM in the Easton Board Room. The hospital is also offering a virtual attendance option for those who prefer to join remotely.
The session will be led by Dr. Al Mina, Chief Medical Officer of Harris Regional Hospital, Haywood Regional Medical Center, and Swain Community Hospital. Dr. Mina will discuss vein health with an emphasis on chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), its symptoms, and how vein function affects overall wellness.
“Many people live with symptoms like leg swelling, heaviness, or fatigue without realizing that vein dysfunction may be the cause,” said Dr. Mina. “This Lunch & Learn is designed to help attendees recognize the signs of CVI and understand what treatment options are available. Awareness is the first step to prevention and care.”
CVI and similar conditions often go undiagnosed. Understanding circulatory system function can help individuals take more proactive steps in managing their long-term health.
“This is a great opportunity for our community to hear directly from one of our region’s most respected physician leaders,” said Ashley Hindman, CEO of Harris Regional and Swain Community Hospitals. “Dr. Mina’s clinical insight and approachable style help bring important topics like vein health into everyday understanding.”
Lunch will be provided for those attending in person, while all participants—both in-person and virtual—will have the chance to ask questions during the event.
