American Heart Month at Montefiore

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. Join us in celebrating National Wear Red Day on Friday, February 1st.

Please continue to find out how to care for your heart at the  Montefiore Einstein Center for Heart and Vascular Care.
