February is American Heart Month, a time to shine a spotlight on heart health and the steps we can all take to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. At Clinton County Medical Center (CCMC), we’re here to help you prioritize your heart health with expert care and personalized services.
Why Heart Health Matters: Understanding Cardiovascular Disease Risks
Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States. Factors such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, smoking, and diabetes significantly increase the risk of developing cardiovascular issues. Recognizing and addressing these risk factors early can make a life-changing difference.
