On October 21, 2009, Lehigh Valley Health Network presents a free educational evening for atrial fibrillation patients and their families. At this event, learn about living with atrial fibrillation, including diagnosis and treatment options, and hear atrial fibrillation survivor, Mellanie True Hills, CEO and founder of StopAfib.org, talk about You Don't Have to Live with Afib.

After surviving blood clots and a near-stroke during her first afib episode, Hills lived in constant fear that the next one would bring on a deadly stroke. Once cured of this irregular heartbeat, she couldn't stand on the sidelines and watch others suffer so she started StopAfib.org, a non-profit resource for those living the nightmare of atrial fibrillation.
