CSCR's Virtual Annual Conference 2020

Saturday, October 24th, 7:30am to 2pm

Registration fee $99

Join us for CSCR's Virtual Annual Conference 2020, celebrating 35 years of CSCR! We have curated a program for our members that will be inspirational and informative.

Speakers include:

Joe Piscatella, Keynote Speaker

CSCR is proud to have survivor Joe Piscatella presenting our opening Keynote Address:

Managing Chronic Stress in the Age of COVID-19

This is an era of major disruption in our lives caused by a pandemic virus, a collapsing economy, uncertainty about schools, lost jobs and social turmoil. And on top of the major disruption, there is the daily stress from too little time and too much to do, from increased career and family commitments, from crawling trafc and never-ending e-mails. Indeed, 89% of us say that the stress in our lives is overwhelming. The result is often high levels of frustration, anxiety, depression and anger.

Joe Piscatella is a man with a message about managing stress successfully and the skill to tell it. A national expert on lifestyle habits and health, he is the author of 17 best-selling books, has hosted three PBS television specials on heart health, is a "guest expert" on WebMD, and has had numerous appearances on The Today Show and Good Morning America. He has additionally served as the only non-medical member of the NIH Expert Panel on Cardiac Rehabilitation.

Joe is a popular national speaker who delivers his message live and in webinar programs. He knows the science of stress management, but he understands the practical aspect as well. At age 32, he went through coronary bypass surgery. The prognosis was not good (one doctor predicted he would not live to age 40.) But he put his effort into developing healthy lifestyle habits and it has worked. He has celebrated the 43rd anniversary of that surgery, making him one of the longest living survivors of bypass surgery and a wonderful example of the effectiveness of healthy lifestyle habits. Dr. William Roberts, Editor-in-Chief of The American Journal of Cardiology, says "Joe Piscatella knows more about healthy living than anyone I know. He is a national resource."

In this presentation, Joe examines the impact of chronic stress on health, productivity and quality of life. He helps audiences understand that the secret to a balanced life is not to avoid stress, but to manage it; not to react to stress, but to respond to it. His program not only examines the sources of stress in modern life (including Type A personality), but it provides audiences with a variety of mental and physical tools to successfully manage stress every day.

In this seminar, participants will learn:

How chronic stress impacts well-being, particularly cardiac health;

What are the most common sources of chronic stress;

What are the best physical and mental methods of managing stress successfully.
