Greetings,
February is American Heart Month. American Heart Month is a federally designated event that encourages Americans to focus on their heart health and get their families, friends and communities involved.
Be informed. Visit heart.org and learn the signs of a heart attack — the familiar and not-so-familiar ones. If you or someone you're with is experiencing symptoms, don't ignore them or take time to self-diagnose. Go to the nearest emergency room or call 911 immediately for help. Every minute counts. The sooner you get medical help, the more you reduce the risk of heart damage or death.
On a (somewhat) lighter note, please enjoy this humorous video on the very serious topic of women and heart attacks with actress Elizabeth Banks from 30 Rock.
Check out the blogs on Thrive Morris for tips and information to keep your heart, body-and soul healthy!
Yours in Health,
Laura O’Reilly-Stanzilis RN MSM
