February is designated as American Heart Month, where the nation comes together for awareness of heart disease and stroke.
To mark the start of the month, personnel at UnityPoint Health – St. Luke’s wore red Friday to help promote healthy cardiac care.
Nearly 80 percent of cardiac events can be prevented and cardiovascular diseases continue to be a woman’s greatest health threat.
Mayor Bob Scott read a proclamation and over 50 women gathered for a luncheon to learn about various heart health topics from St. Luke’s cardiologists.
