Our annual Hearts Full of Spring evening highlighted the importance of women’s health and focused on the devastating statistics of heart disease among women and its symptoms. The evening was bursting with food and fashion as St. Vincent Medical Center’s doctors and nurses strutted the catwalk in Mitchells’ fashions; the show was commentated by Mary Nicolia Daoutis, whose sister was struck in her early life with heart issues. The event was lifestyle-transforming as keynote speaker Lisa Lynn presented advice regarding metabolism, nutrition and fitness. Mitchells’ own Kaki Johnson, a heart attack survivor, told her poignant story demonstrating the fact that women can be impacted by heart problems at a very early age. Television personality and loyal Mitchells’ client, Dave Price, kept the audience laughing as he cajoled the guest bidders at the evening’s live auction. Q
