February is recognized as American Heart Month, a time to increase heart disease awareness and promote prevention and treatment in the community. Nationally, as well as in Florida, more people die each year from heart disease than from any other cause.
DOH-Martin encourages all Floridians to adopt a lifestyle that promotes heart health and well-being, including maintaining healthy cholesterol levels, adding physical activity to their weekly schedule, and eating nutritious foods that complement a healthy cardiovascular system.
The Department, nationally accredited by the Public Health Accreditation Board, works to protect, promote, and improve the health of all people in Florida through integrated state, county, and community efforts.
