Dear colleagues,
February is American Heart Month! Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States. Every year, one in four deaths is caused by heart disease.
The good news? Heart disease can often be prevented when people make healthy choices and manage their health conditions. Communities, health professionals, and families can work together to create opportunities for people to make healthier choices.
Make a difference in your community: Spread the word about strategies for preventing heart disease and encourage people to live heart-healthy lives.
