As American Heart Month comes to a close, we’re reminded that heart health doesn’t end in February — it’s something we care for all year long.

This month, we highlighted the importance of knowing your numbers, managing stress, staying active, eating heart-healthy foods, and keeping up with routine checkups. These everyday steps play a powerful role in preventing heart disease and protecting your long-term health.

If you haven’t already, consider scheduling a visit to review your heart health and preventive care needs. Small actions today can make a lasting difference for tomorrow.

Celebrating Black History in Healthcare

Dr. James McCune Smith (1813–1865)

James McCune Smith was born into slavery in New York City in 1813. His dream of becoming a doctor seemed impossible since he was denied admission to American colleges because he was Black. He attended the University of Glasgow in Scotland, where he earned his bachelor’s, master’s, and medical degrees by the age of 24 through sheer determination. Upon returning to New York City in 1837, he established his own medical office and pharmacy at 93 West Broadway — making him the first African American doctor with a practice in the United States.
