In the latest TV commercials for Avera Heart Hospital’s Planet Heart screenings, people with heart problems tell their own stories. So many people think heart disease can’t happen to them—including Linda Olson.

Since then, he’s been an active member and even served as the Civic Chair and maintained the Synergy website from 2007 to 2008.
