AUBURN — “Come Be Inspired” is the theme of a Central Maine Heart and Vascular Institute program set for Monday, Feb. 22.

The keynote speaker for the event will be author, motivational speaker and educator Susan Arledge. Her topic will be “Superwoman: So Many Roles, So Little Time.”

Many women play multiple, complex roles including ­ wife, mother, daughter, caregiver, employee, employer and volunteer. Such demands can influence physical, mental and emotional health. Arledge’s presentation will emphasize practical tools for taking good care of total health while meeting day-to-day obligations.

Arledge is the author of “TGI Monday: 10 Strategies for Thriving in Today’s Workplace.” She earned a masters degree in counseling from The College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Va. She has taught in the U.S., Germany, the Philippines and the Virgin Islands.

Also speaking at the luncheon will be Cindie Rice, the Central Maine Heart and Vascular Institute’s director of health and wellness and cardiac rehabilitation.

She will consider “Women Are From Venus, Men Are From Mars: A Down-to-Earth Discussion About Heart Disease in Women.”

Rice’s presentation will examine how heart disease is the number one killer of American women, and the differences between how heart disease affects men and women. The discussion will consider how heart attack symptoms in women can differ from the classic signs and how women can better listen to their body’s signals and respond appropriately.

The program will be offered at Auburn Hilton Garden Inn Riverwatch in Auburn. The day’s events will begin at 10:30 a.m. and conclude about 1 p.m.

A fee will be charged for participation, but covers the cost of a heart healthy lunch. The event will also feature various exhibits.
