Resolve to Make Heart Health a Priority in 2011

Love them or hate them, most of us make resolutions during this time of year. We resolve to eat better, to get more exercise and/or to stop smoking to name a few; all of which are wonderful for our hearts. During this time of resolutions, will you make one more promise for a heart-healthy 2011? Resolve to make your voice heard in the fight against heart disease and stroke:

Healthy hearts is not just about eating well and exercising. It is also important that the residents of Illinois have access to healthy foods and safe places to exercise, clean air to breathe and resources to help smokers quit and that all residents have access to medical care when they need it most. That is why our elected officials need to make heart health a priority this year!


We can’t spell CURE without “U”!
