This month marks the 43rd annual American Heart Month. Cardiovascular diseases, including stroke, are our nation’s number one killer. Awareness and prevention are key components in the fight against these deadly diseases.
The American Heart Association is a national volunteer organization whose mission is to build healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases including strokes. The association’s Website provides a wealth of knowledge regarding cardiovascular disease including information on the warning signs of a heart attack, stroke and cardiac arrest, as well as ways to live a healthier life. It also provides contact information for local offices so that you can find out about any CPR or Emergency Cardiac Care classes in your area.
Go Red For Women is the American Heart Association’s nationwide movement that celebrates the ability all women have to improve their heart health and live stronger, longer lives. For more information on this program, please visit their Website.
During American Heart Month, encourage your friends and loved ones to visit the American Heart Association’s Website or contact them at their local offices by calling (315) 797-8906 or (518) 869-4042 to learn more about the number one killer of both men and women in the United States.
