Where you live can affect your health. People who live in sunny climates face higher skin cancer risk. Communities with high air pollution see more lung disease. Likewise, people who live in Kentucky, southern Ohio, and West Virginia face a higher risk of heart disease.

Why? There’s no single reason. Generations of isolation, healthcare shortages, family history, sedentary lifestyles, limited access to healthy foods, transportation and financial barriers, and higher rates of smoking all play a role. Conditions like obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes add to that burden.

Knowing that we’re at higher risk – and why – makes preventive care even more important. And prevention doesn’t always mean extensive testing or seeing a long list of specialists. It starts with the basics.

It means:
•. Having a primary care provider who knows you and looks after your whole health
•. Understanding your personal and family health history
•. Getting screenings earlier and, when needed, more often
•. Making realistic lifestyle changes over time, including diet, exercise, and stress reduction
•. Paying attention to your body – you will be the first to know something is off
•. Doing something about it, even if that means getting another medical opinion

In communities that have faced generations of hardship, prevention hasn’t always felt accessible… or effective. We understand that. At UK King’s Daughters, we’re working every day to make care easier to access, easier to understand, and closer to home – starting with strong primary care.

If you don’t have a primary care provider, we’d like to help. Today.
Call our Care 24/7 line at (606) 408-8999 to get started.
Geography doesn’t have to be destiny.
Together, we’re changing the course of heart disease across our region.
