American Heart Month

February is American Heart Month, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (both part of the U.S.Department of Health and Human Services) are encouraging participation in Million Hearts, an initiative designed to prevent heart attacks and strokes and to empower everyone to make heart-healthy choices. The initiative’s goal is to prevent one million heart attacks and strokes in the U.S. over the next five years.
