February is Heart Health Month, and Central Valley Medical Center (CVMC) is leading the charge with initiatives aimed at improving heart health awareness and access to preventive care.
CVMC is dedicated to providing care that truly knows your heart, focusing on personalized approaches to heart health. Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States, affecting both men and women. Early detection, education, and preventive screenings are crucial in managing this condition.
Throughout February, CVMC will offer discounted coronary calcium scans for only $65, a quick, non-invasive imaging test that helps identify calcium buildup in the arteries. This information is vital for assessing a person's risk for heart attack and guiding future care decisions.
CVMC's efforts, including partnerships with local students and the Go Red for Women movement, underscore the importance of community involvement and education in promoting heart health. By providing accessible and personalized care, CVMC is committed to protecting the long-term health of its patients.
