February is Heart Health Month

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States. The good news? It is also one of the most preventable. Making heart-healthy choices, knowing your family health history and the risk factors for heart disease, having regular check-ups and working with your physician to manage your health are all integral aspects of saving lives from this often silent killer.

February is Heart Health Month.

Make a difference in your community by spreading the word about strategies for preventing heart disease and encouraging those around you to have their hearts check and commit to heart-healthy lives.

How can you make a difference during Heart Health Month?

Wear red on National Wear Red Day on Friday, Feb. 2 to increase awareness of heart disease. Then share a photo of you and your friends in your best red gear on social media with the hashtag #theheartfoundation.
