We’re getting ready to wrap up Heart Month! From Go Red events to the Heart Walk, a fun heart‑themed door decorating contest and hands-on CPR sessions, our hearts have been everywhere. ❤️
Let’s continue taking care of our hearts and learning about heart health and hands-only CPR. We’re offering our final hands-on CPR session of the month this Saturday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. in the main lobby. No registration is required.
This , Dr. Wilfredo Crespo, cardiovascular surgeon and director of cardiac rehabilitation, is helping raise awareness during Heart Awareness Month about a critical part of recovery: cardiac rehab.
After a heart attack, stent procedure or open-heart surgery, healing doesn’t end when a patient leaves the hospital. Cardiac rehabilitation is a structured program of exercise and conditioning designed to help patients safely rebuild strength, restore stamina and return to their daily lives.
This month, we’re highlighting heart health, prevention and the power of rehabilitation. Take care of your heart — it’s worth it. ❤️

Too busy to work out? Your heart only needs a few minutes.
Yunus Moosa, MD, FACC, FSCAI, an interventional cardiologist from Laredo Physicians Group, reminds us that just 5 to 10 minutes of brisk walking a day can significantly reduce the risk of a heart attack.
February is Heart Awareness Month — the perfect time to start small. Take the stairs. Walk around the block. Dance in your kitchen.
A few minutes a day could mean more years with the people you love. Your heart works every day for you. This month, work a few minutes for it. ❤️

If you’ve been diagnosed with heart failure, it can be scary because it sounds like your heart is no longer working. But heart failure doesn’t mean your heart is not working – it just means it’s not working as well as it should. Although it is a serious condition and has no cure, many people with heart failure lead full lives, as long as the condition is managed properly. https://bit.ly/3O9fAeq
