American Heart Month

Cardiovascular diseases, including stroke, are our nation's No. 1 killer. To urge Americans to join the battle against these diseases, since 1963 Congress has required the president to proclaim February "American Heart Month."

The Cleveland Department of Public Health proudly supports the American Heart Association in recognizing American Heart Month and AHA's Go Red For Women campaign.
