The Chattooga Health Fair is coming up, and this year it will include an AngioScreen bus offering important preventative screenings. The screening checks for early warning signs of heart attack and stroke before symptoms ever appear. That is what makes it so important. Many people feel completely normal and go about their daily lives with no idea that a serious health issue could already be developing.
The Chattooga County Chamber of Commerce has partnered with AdventHealth to host a Heart Health Month Lunch & Learn on Monday, February 23, 2026, from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. The event will be held at 10050 Commerce Street in Summerville and is open to the public.
Organizers say the Lunch & Learn will focus on heart health awareness and prevention, with Dr. Himanshu Patel, MD serving as the guest speaker. The catered lunch is sponsored by AdventHealth, and attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about maintaining heart health while connecting with local professionals.
Reservations are required for the event, and interested participants are encouraged to review event policies and secure their spot in advance.

February is American Heart Month, an annual observance focused on raising awareness about cardiovascular health and encouraging habits that protect the heart.
Across Chattooga County and Northwest Georgia, millions of Americans are balancing the role of caregiver — often caring for young children and aging loved ones at the same time. Yet many caregivers say they are not prepared to respond to a medical emergency like cardiac arrest, even though it can happen suddenly and without warning.
Atrium Health Floyd is offering two free community events this February in observation of American Heart Month, focused on blood pressure screenings and heart-health education.
AdventHealth Redmond is continuing its mission to bring advanced heart care closer to home for Chattooga County and surrounding Northwest Georgia communities, including expanded access through cardiology services in Trion.
