Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women, yet symptoms often present differently than they do in men. Knowing what to look for, and how to be proactive, can save lives.
Join Professional Dimensions for an informative and empowering dinner program led by Sasanka N. Jayasuriya, MD, an interventional cardiologist at Ascension Wisconsin Columbia St Mary's in Milwaukee. Dr. Jayasuriya is board-certified in general cardiology, interventional cardiology, echocardiology, and vascular ultrasonography, and is known for her patient-centered approach to care.
Dr. Jayasuriya will guide our group through a presentation on how women’s heart disease symptoms differ from men’s, how to recognize warning signs, and steps women can take to be proactive about their heart health. The evening will include a facilitated tabletop discussions and a Q&A session for deeper conversation and connection.
The April 2026 dinner program is sponsored by Ascension Health, a corporate member of Professional Dimensions.

PD DINNER HIGHLIGHTS:
Wisconsin Club Partnership: We are honored to host this program at the Wisconsin Club, a venue that reflects the progress and leadership we strive to advance. We are inspired by Kathie Eilers, the first woman to serve as President of the Wisconsin Club Board of Directors, and by our esteemed PD member, Lou Koval, who continues to serve with distinction on the board. Professional Dimensions is committed to reinforcing women’s leadership as a model for others to aspire to. We recognize that creating meaningful change requires our active and courageous support, and we are proud to embody that commitment here.
A Hub for Convening: As we grow, we hope to leverage the Wisconsin Club as a physical gathering space for our organization. Many PD women are members of the Wisconsin Club, and we’re excited to offer tours at the conclusion of each program to invite more to join!
Progressive Dinners: We facilitate progressive dinners, a dynamic and engaging format designed to foster deeper connections. With each course—appetizer, entrée, and dessert—participants rotate to a new table with a different group of women. This structure encourages more meaningful conversations in smaller, topic-aligned groups while ensuring attendees interact with a diverse mix of people throughout the evening.
LOGISTICS:
(PD Dinner Programs are in-person only)
Parking: Members and guests can park in the Wisconsin Club parking lot at no additional cost.
