How healthy is your heart? After a steady decline, cardiovascular disease is on the rise again in our country.

Cardiovascular disease, which includes heart disease, stroke, and heart attack, is the number one cause of death in the United States.

Heart disease alone, affects 30-million Americans, with a disproportionate impact on women, rural populations, and racial and ethnic minority groups.

However, many of these deaths are preventable with access to quality care.

Luckily, promising new approaches and treatments are changing the health landscape and current trajectory of cardiovascular disease.

As we know, prevention is powerful. Now is the time to visit your health care provider and learn your risk level. Make an appointment today.
