Learn About Your Heart

Did you know 475,000 lives are lost each year to cardiac arrest? During Heart Month let’s focus on decreasing that number to zero.

During Heart Month each February, we encourage you to read about the topics listed below to help lower your risk of heart disease.

Catawba Valley Health System strives to improve the health of our community through awareness, education, and prevention. We offer a variety of educational programs, screenings, and information through the Health First Center.

In addition, we offer some informational literature concerning Early Heart Attack Care and on the importance of acting quickly in case of a Stroke. For other information on the heart, heart disease, and related subjects visit the American Heart Association. We also encourage you to assess your heart disease risk by using the ACC/AHA ASCVD Risk Calculator and view our Community Health Assessment.
