Join Northern Inyo Healthcare District Physical Therapist Adam Maxwell and Renown Health Cardiologist Dr. Christopher Rowan on Thursday, February 23, 5:30 p.m., for an NIHD Healthy Lifestyle Talk, “Love Your Heart: Keeping your heart happy and healthy through exercise.”

Maxwell, from Northern Inyo Hospital’s Rehabilitation Services, and Dr. Rowan will discuss importance of diet and exercise in maintaining heart health. Each will offer their professional insight into questions cardiac patients often ask them. These questions include how to get started exercising after a cardiac event, and how do today’s diet methods such as intermittent fasting apply to cardiac patients.

NIHD Chief Medical Officer Dr. Joy Engblade will host the talk, and moderate the closing question and answer period.

Dr. Christopher Rowan specializes in Clinical Cardiology and is board-certified in Echocardiography. In addition, Dr. Rowan is a faculty member at the University of Nevada Medical School in Reno. He is part of Renown Health’s Institute for Heart and Vascular Health.

Hailing from Salt Lake City, Utah, Adam Maxwell joined NIHD in 2022. He holds a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from the University of Utah. Prior to coming to Bishop, Maxwell worked in outpatient, acute inpatient, and skilled nursing facilities. He brings a wealth of experience in movement analysis, manual therapy, and sports performance, and he is passionate about helping people reach their individualized rehabilitation goals.
