Get Help

Our health and well-being are in our own hands, but there are plenty of resources that are here to help us reach and maintain healthy lifestyles. For example, even when you are in good health, it is a good idea to visit the doctor regularly for health maintenance, including physicals and blood pressure checks.

The pharmacist at your local drug store can also answer questions you have about any medications you are taking and how they relate to your heart health.

Other local resources that are qualified to help you include your local health department or community clinics. You can find them in your local telephone directory or online.
