Grand View Hospital is running a month-long campaign this February to raise awareness of heart disease and other heart-related illnesses. The campaign, called “Know Your Numbers,” promotes knowledge about one’s blood pressure and cholesterol, two factors which can greatly increase your chance of developing heart disease, diabetes, or having a stroke. To learn more about your risk of developing cardiovascular disease, visit Grand View’s website at www.gvh.org.
Grand View also offers heart-related programs for the community. On Tuesday, February 2, more than 45 people attended Grand View Date Night: Protecting your Valentine’s Heart, a fun night out for couples, featuring a presentation by cardiologist David Travis, DO. Other programs include Healthy Living with the Help of Technology, and Belly Fat & a Woman’s Heart Health.
