DVACO Celebrates Heart Month

Please join the DVACO in celebrating #HeartMonth! Throughout the month of February, we will be focusing our attention on the ways we can promote heart health. With thanks to research and innovation, the healthcare community has learned that encouraging and guiding our patients to engage in healthy habits and to take charge of their existing medical conditions can aid in the prevention of heart disease and lower the risk of heart disease developing. The DVACO is proud to have a network of skilled clinicians and qualified health coaches to screen, raise awareness, educate, and encourage lifestyle changes to help our patients live longer, fuller, and healthier lives- free of heart disease!

In honor of #HeartMonth, we would like to share the key measures for improving and maintaining cardiovascular health, defined by the American Heart Association (AHA). Life’s Essential 8 is a great resource for examining health behaviors and health factors for lifelong health.
