World Heart Day

Happy World Heart Day!

Join us in the fight against cardiovascular disease (CVD). World Heart Day was initiated by the World Heart Federation to inform people about CVD. CVD, which includes heart disease and stroke, is the leading cause of death around the world, claiming 17.5 million lives annually. Your heart is important! Do things to inspire the people around you to be heart healthy. Educate people on smoking cessation and healthier diets, and encourage physical activity. Keep track of your weight and blood pressure, and your blood glucose if you can. Protect your heart and share the power of living heart healthy!
