Protecting the heart health of our community, especially here in Flint, is a cornerstone of our mission.
A crucial new study has revealed a striking health disparity: Black adults are first hospitalized for heart failure (HF) nearly 14 years earlier than White adults (average age 60.1 vs. 73.6).
The research emphasizes that this isn't just a clinical issue—the gap is largely driven by social and economic factors (like health insurance, unemployment, and education) that limit access to quality preventative care and timely diagnoses.
At Binson's Pharmacy, we believe that earlier awareness leads to earlier action. We are committed to being a trusted resource right in your neighborhood. We can support you by:
✅ Helping you manage blood pressure and cholesterol medications.
✅ Discussing medication adherence and potential side effects.
✅ Offering support and counseling for chronic conditions that lead to HF (like diabetes and hypertension).
It's never too early to prioritize your heart health. We are here to listen and help you navigate your care.
