He had just turned 49. He had just been to the gym. He had no idea he was about to have a heart attack. But within 25 minutes of entering the ER at Community Hospital South, Dave had a stent in place and disaster was averted. All because he knew the warning signs and took quick action. Now he encourages everyone to get an annual health screening. Like the ones Community Health Network holds at the elementary school where Dave is principal.
