FEBRUARY IS HEART HEALTH MONTH
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States. The good news? It is also one of the most preventable.
Celebrate American Heart Month with Us
American Heart Month, observed every February, is a time to raise awareness about heart disease—the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States. This national campaign, first declared in 1964, serves as a reminder to take charge of our heart health through education, prevention, and support for life-saving research.
At The Heart Foundation, we’re dedicated to inspiring healthier lives by providing resources and funding groundbreaking advancements in the fight against heart disease. Together, we can make a difference. Explore how you can get involved—whether by spreading awareness, making a donation, or adopting heart-healthy habits. Let’s work together to create a world filled with stronger, healthier hearts!
