February is Heart Health Month.
At Compass Homecare, we’re proud to join with healthcare providers, community partners, and individuals across Canada in shining a spotlight on heart health throughout February, a month dedicated to awareness, education, prevention, and support for heart and vascular health.
Heart disease and cardiovascular conditions affect millions of lives, often in ways that are deeply personal and far-reaching. Heart Health Month reminds us that taking care of our hearts isn’t just a one-day event, it’s a year-round commitment to healthier lifestyles, mindful care, and compassionate support.
Throughout February, organizations like the University of Ottawa Heart Institute and community partners are hosting events, campaigns, and activities. From Wear Red Canada and Light the Capital Red, to educational conversations about women’s heart health, valve disease awareness, and cardiac rehabilitation, all to raise awareness and empower individuals to make heart-healthy choices.
As healthcare providers supporting clients at home and in the community, we believe:
❤️ Prevention starts with awareness — understanding risk factors, recognizing symptoms, and embracing healthy habits can make a world of difference.
❤️ Heart health is holistic — nutrition, activity, stress management, and meaningful connection all matter.
❤️ Support extends beyond clinical care — compassion, presence, and personalized care help our clients thrive.
This Heart Health Month, let’s take time to learn, share, and act for ourselves, our families, and our communities.
