About this event

This session is part of Trinity Health’s Surgical Spotlight Education Series, created to inform, support, and inspire patients and families through expert-led discussions.

In this educational program, Dr. Kristofer Bagdasarian will explain how carotid artery disease contributes to stroke and—most importantly—what you can do to reduce your risk. Learn about symptoms to watch for, screening options, and lifestyle changes that can help protect your brain and overall well‑being. This session is perfect for older adults looking to stay informed and proactive about their vascular health.
