February is American Heart Month!

Did you know heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women? In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports 715,000 Americans have a heart attack every year. And, annually nearly 600,000 people die from heart disease in the U.S. That’s one out of every four deaths!

The good news is heart disease is preventable and controllable; and the Tampa Y is here to help. As a leading voice on health and well-being in the Tampa Bay community, we are committed to preventing obesity and the chronic diseases associated with it, such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
