❤️ American Heart Month – February ❤️
February is American Heart Month, a reminder that heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the U.S. — but the good news is, prevention, treatment, and support can save lives.
Here in Eastern North Carolina, people living with heart disease have access to treatment options including cardiac rehabilitation, heart monitoring, medication management, lifestyle coaching, and advanced cardiovascular care through local hospitals and heart specialists. Programs like cardiac rehab help patients recover after heart attacks or heart procedures while reducing the risk of future events.
American Heart Month also honors survivors who continue to inspire awareness — from public figures to everyday heroes right here in our communities who prove that early detection, education, and lifestyle changes make a difference.
Learn the warning signs of heart attack and stroke, understand your blood pressure and cholesterol numbers, and commit to heart-healthy habits like regular movement, balanced nutrition, and stress management.
For trusted information, prevention tips, and resources, visit the American Heart Association.
This month — and every month — listen to your heart, take action, and encourage the people you love to do the same. ❤️
