Show your support by wearing red Friday, February 7
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States. Every year, 1 in 4 deaths is caused by heart disease. However, heart disease can often be prevented.
February is American Heart Month. OSF HealthCare and the OSF HealthCare Cardiovascular Institute are marking the occasion by encouraging you to take control of your heart health. Heart disease can often be prevented by making healthy choices and managing health conditions. You can fight heart disease risk factors like high blood pressure and inactivity and lessen your risk.
