Heart Health Matters
This February, we’re partnering with WomenHeart for American Heart Month—visit our venues this month to support women’s heart health.
This February, we honor the life and legacy of our late General Manager and Chief Marketing Officer, Iga Obrycka, talented, creative, outspoken and endlessly driven. We lost Iga January 27th, 2025 to a heart attack caused by a rare condition called mitral valve prolapse. Her heart, leadership, and spirit will never be forgotten.
In her memory, we’re partnering with the Women’s Heart Health Association to raise awareness for women's heart health- the leading cause of death in women- and to support research, education and outreach.
We miss you, Iga.

Who is WomenHeart?
WomenHeart is the first and only national patient-centered nonprofit organization dedicated exclusively to supporting women living with or at risk for heart disease. Its mission is to improve the lives of these women and fight for equity in heart health by providing education, peer support, advocacy, and tools to help women understand and manage their cardiovascular health. Founded in 1999 by heart disease survivors, WomenHeart also trains women as leaders and educators to support others and help drive change in care, awareness, and policy.
WomenHeart provides comprehensive resources to support women at every stage of their heart health journey. From peer-to-peer support through local and virtual groups to one-on-one connections with trained WomenHeart Champions, women gain access to community and personalized guidance. Trusted educational tools—including downloadable guides and condition-specific resources—equip women with the knowledge and confidence to navigate heart disease and advocate for the care they deserve.
“During this Heart Month, as WomenHeart raises awareness about heart disease in women, we are grateful to join Stanton and Bowery Hospitality in honoring Iga Obrycka.”
