American Heart Month
As we feel our
heart pumping while we work on a client’s mobile clinic, we work to the beat of not only some great music, but our
heart. We all know that the heart is not only the most vital organ of our body,
but it also helps us keep a steady pace on our work, find a rhythm, or simply
just remind us that we’re here and alive. Which is why it is important to not
only get your heart checked out every now and then at a mobile clinic, but to
be aware of any risks your heart may be in. This February, we celebrate not
only Black History Month and Valentine’s Day, but also American Heart Month.
According to
statistics conducted by the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention, heart disease is
the leading cause of death for women in the U.S. From cholesterol, cardiac
arrest, heart attack, diabetes and so on, women are more likely to suffer from
heart diseases. Although women are more likely to die of heart disease, the
same amount of women and men die
every year of cardiac arrest in the United States. The number one prevention
that we at AGI truly helps fight heart disease, is knowledge. The knowledge to
not only know when to get your heart checked out, but also know how to stop or
prevent heart diseases from affecting your family and friends.
Now more than ever
is there more of a great opportunity to get your health examined for not only
your basic checkup, but talk to your doctor about heart diseases, and if your
family has a history of heart diseases. With mobile clinics just around the
corner, having a health exam has never been easier! Having the access to health
care is not only important to prevent heart diseases, but you’re also emphasizing
the importance of knowledge. By participating in a health exam or even learning
CPR at a mobile
CPR center, you’re taking the right steps
towards heart awareness.
