This is a very rich cheesecake that imitates a classic fa-vorite. Easter is near and this would make a wonderful dessert but you could put your own twist on it. Instead of the 2 bottles of red food coloring, you could divide the batter and dye it pastel colors then swirl it together be-fore baking. You could also tint the frosting if you wished.

Glasgow Heart and Vascular a member of T.J. Health Partners, has been granted a three-year term of accreditation in Echocardiography in the area of Adult Transtho-racic by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commis-sion (IAC).

Cardiovascular dis-eases are the number one cause of death in the Unit-ed States. On average, one American dies every 39 seconds of cardiovas-cular disease or disorder

of the heart and blood vessels.

Early detection of life threatening heart disor-ders and other diseases is possible through the use of Echocardiography procedures performed within hospitals, outpa-tient centers and physi-cians’ offices. While these tests are helpful, there are many facets that contribute to an accurate diagnosis based on Echo-cardiography testing. The skill of Echocardiography

sonographer performing the examination, the type of equipment used, the background and knowl-edge of the interpreting physician and quality assurance measures are each critical to quality of patient testing.

Echocardiography ac-creditation by the IAC means that Glasgow Heart and Vascular has undergone a thorough review of its operational and technical components by a panel of experts.
