Love Your Heart & Protect Your Heart

It’s easy to be good to your heart. But unfortunately, it can be easy to pick up bad habits too. Dr. Robert Gillespie, a cardiologist affiliated with Sharp Memorial Hospital, shares three common habits that may be damaging your heart. #HeartMonth

Dr. Gillespie, or as his patients call him, Dr. G, is a cardiologist at Sharp Medical Group in San Diego and has worked in the medical profession for almost 30-years.

A cardiologist mainly focuses on monitoring and testing a patient’s heart, but with the surge of the pandemic, his duties quickly changed. If that wasn’t stressful enough medical professionals are now having to deal with misinformation.

“Part of the reason African Americans, Hispanics, or Latinx Americans haven’t done so well, has to do with a level of interaction with healthcare. The mistrust for healthcare, the lack of not necessarily having someone who looks like them, care for them. That does matter to historically disadvantaged populations,” said Dr. G.

That is why Dr. G has taken matters into his own hands and continues to educate minorities in San Diego’s underserved communities.

Multicultural Health Foundation invites you to hear from Dr. G on Thursday February 16th at 6pm PT via zoom!
