February marks the start of Heart Month. While focusing on your heart health is always important, Heart Month is a great opportunity to plan for and schedule your annual and preventative screenings with your primary care physician.

Preventative Care for Heart Disease
Coping with life’s pressures, managing stress, not addressing symptoms – regularly seeing your primary care doctor can help you prevent heart disease. While heart disease is a serious condition, there are many steps you can take to lower your risk of developing cardiovascular issues and help you lead a fulfilling, active life. To learn more about preventative care for heart disease, visit your primary doctor for regular check-ups and visits. Kickstart your journey to becoming an improved and healthier you by utilizing the resources provided by your health care provider.
