February is American Heart Month, and today we’re talking about the facts to help you take care of your heart.

Va**ng is on the rise for young people—especially people of color and LGBTQ+ people. Knowing the risks of va**ng can help you make informed decisions about your health.

Other steps you can take to keep your heart healthy? Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and reducing stress. If you need help managing stress, MOCHA offers free supportive counseling. Stop by 200 S. Elmwood Ave. or give us a call at 716.541.0674 to learn more.
