2020: Staying Healthy in the Midst of a Pandemic!

Healthy Heart Day: an event that comes from the heart.

The first Healthy Heart Day was launched in 2004 in memory of Mrs. Linda D’Souza, a matriarch of the Pandey-D’Souza family. As a dedicated nurse of 4-decades, Mrs. D’Souza was a pillar of her community, faithfully involved in bettering the lives of the less fortunate. Carrying on her legacy of commitment and civic responsibility, Dr. and Mrs. Pandey consider the heart health concerns of the Cambridge region to be their personal responsibility. Healthy Heart Day, then, is a labour of love not only for Grandma Linda but for the community as well.
