About Karen Sammer:
Karen Sammer is a ten-year breast cancer survivor and a two-year spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) heart attack survivor.
Karen retired from her corporate job as Director, Tax Audits, and now works with women who are living with or are at risk for developing heart disease or other chronic illnesses.
After dealing with breast cancer and the effects of chemo and radiation, she decided to take control of her health, and in the lost 135 pounds.
In 2017, she experienced another major health event when she had a SCAD followed by a heart attack, which made her double down on her self care. This also acted as a catalyst for her to be trained at the Mayo Clinic to be a WomenHeart Champion Community Educator. Now she goes wherever there’s an audience to talk about heart disease in women, what to look for, what to do if you have it, and how to prevent it. WomenHeart is the only national coalition for women with or at risk for developing heart disease.
