Good Heart Health is Important for Families & Communities!


Cardiovascular disease (CVD) causes 17.5 million deaths every year, and that number is expected to rise to 23 million in the next six years.  CVD contributes to poverty because it leads to  high health spending and high out-of-pocket expenses for people with the disease. Here are a few lifestyle changes to help lower your risk for CVD: 30 minutes of exercise per day, quitting smoking, and eating a healthy diet. Together we can inspire each other to have better heart health!
