February is American Heart Month, a time to think about what you can do to take care of your heart health. Heart disease is the number one killer of women and men in the United States. It’s important to understand your risk. The Affordable Care Act makes certain preventive services that help manage your risk more available than ever, including:
- blood pressure screening for all adults
- cholesterol screening for adults of certain ages or at higher risk
See a full list of Covered Preventive Services
The Heart Truth initiative provides adults and children with resources to make heart healthy decisions.
