Montefiore Kicks Off AHA Heart Month

The Montefiore Einstein Center for Heart and Vascular Care kicked off American Heart Month with the Montefiore Mile, just one of the many events planned to raise awareness of health-healthy practices throughout the month.

The American Heart Association has declared February American Heart Month to raise awareness of cardiovascular disease—the leading cause of death in the United States. In honor of American Heart Month, Montefiore Einstein Center for Heart and Vascular Care is sponsoring a variety of events, screenings and lectures designed to promote heart-health awareness and education. Montefiore encourages you to mind your heart throughout the month to establish good habits that benefit your cardiovascular health all year long.
