Wake Up Call: Premature Heart Disease and Stroke in South Asians
An Exclusive Community Health Seminar – Sunday, June 22, 2025

The American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin – Greater Kansas City Chapter (AAPI-GKC) and the India Association of Kansas City (IAKC) invite you to a critical and timely health seminar addressing a growing concern in our community: the high prevalence of premature heart disease and stroke among South Asians.

As immigrants from South Asia, we face elevated risks of heart attack, cardiac arrest, and stroke at a relatively young age – often beginning in our 30s and 40s. This exclusive event will bring together top cardiologists and neurologists of Indian origin from across the U.S. to share knowledge, provide guidance, and answer your questions on prevention, risk management, and healthy living.

🩺 Expert Panel Includes:

  • Dr. Ashutosh Bapat – KU Med Center, KS

  • Dr. Rajesh Kabra – Kansas City Heart Rhythm Institute

  • Dr. Dipika Aggarwal – Department of Neurology, KU Med Center

  • Dr. Dwarak Soundarraj – Liberty Hospital, MO

  • Dr. Rajya L. Malay – North Kansas City Hospital

📍 Location: Hindu Temple & Cultural Center of Kansas City
📅 Date: Sunday, June 22, 2025
⏰ Time: 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM
📌 Address: 6330 Lackman Road, Shawnee, KS 66217
