About The Author
Dr. Amy Doneen, DNP, ARNP is an international leader in preventing heart attacks, stroke, and diabetes. She has a strong focus on women’s heart health utilizing her skills to define risk assessment and treatment. She has given more than 600 presentations to global medical groups, including to the International Atherosclerosis Society, International Symposium on Atherosclerosis, National Lipid Association Symposium, Women’s Heart Symposium, American Heart Association, Berkeley Heart Lab, and Cleveland Heart Lab. She has been interviewed by major radio and TV news shows.
Doneen is owner and medical director of the Heart Attack & Stroke Prevention Center in Spokane, Washington and cofounder of the Bale/Doneen Method for heart attack, stroke, and diabetes prevention. She presents AAFP accredited continuing medical education (CME) Preceptorship courses several times a year in cities across the United States, training health care providers in such advanced CVD detection techniques as genetic testing, state-of-the-art ultrasound measurements of major arteries, high-tech heart scans, personalized treatment strategies and “fire panel” tests for insulin resistance—cornerstones of the patented Bale/Doneen Method.
Passionate about educating fellow providers about how to save lives, Doneen has been described in a magazine profile as a “risk detective” because the Bale/Doneen Method’s mission is to find the root cause for why patients’ arteries become inflamed and could ignite future heart attacks and strokes if the fire isn’t extinguished early enough. She was co-chair of a national continuing medical education (CME) course for doctors on residual lipid risk in CVD, presented in 20 cities in both 2008 and 2009 and participated in a national Grand Round CME course on metabolic syndrome.
An adjunct professor at Texas Tech University Health Science Center School of Nursing, she has delivered many keynote addresses on women’s heart health at major medical conferences.
