Listen to your heart. Raise your voice. Protect your health. Women are often subject to delayed recognition, diagnosis, and treatment for heart attacks. Use this toolkit to spread the word: it’s time to get loud to protect our hearts. #HeartMonth bit.ly/3u6vWel

Excited to join others across the country in answering this Call to Action by detecting and controlling hypertension. cdc.gov/dhdsp/fhclc.htm and @CDCHeart_Stroke

All-cause maternal mortality rates increased nearly 30% in the United States from 2019 to 2020, with racial and ethnic disparities evident across the board. It’s why I put out a “Call to action” on maternal mortality in fall 2020. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

Just spoke to a mom and dad of a Capitol police officer who said they traveled from upstate New York to DC to be able to give their son a hug when he finishes his shift tonight -- this time last year they didn't know if he was alive or not.

Within 2-4 years of quitting, your risk of stroke drops to that of someone who never smoked. Make 2022 the first of many great smoke-free years. go.usa.gov/xehzw

Evidence from an updated systematic review supports the use of team-based care that engages #pharmacists and #nurses to improve patients’ blood pressure. Economic evidence shows the intervention is also cost-effective. #HeartHealth #TheCommunityGuide ow.ly/sOuS50H5kbu
