Hi, and thank you for joining us at EmpowHER – the home of women’s health online. I am joined right now by Dr. Lishan Aklog; he is the Chairman of EmpowHER’s Medical Advisory Board. He is the Director and Chief of Cardiovascular Surgery at the Heart and Lung Institute of St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona and, you know, Dr. Aklog has one of the most amazing stories and so, I wanted to find an opportunity where we just introduced him. He is a major player here on the site. Hey, Dr. Aklog!

Dr. Lishan Aklog:
