Cardiovascular Health Awareness

Cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of preventable death — and most of the risk factors are modifiable.

Modifiable risk factors

Blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, smoking status, physical activity and diet all meaningfully move cardiovascular risk. Regular check-ins with a healthcare provider catch problems while they’re still manageable.

Know the warning signs

Chest pain or pressure, shortness of breath, and pain radiating to the arm or jaw warrant immediate medical attention — don’t wait to see if it passes.

Access is part of prevention

Missed appointments due to transportation barriers are a real driver of poor cardiovascular outcomes. Our transportation assistance program exists to close exactly that gap.
