February is Heart Health Month. Join the American Heart Association to help raise awareness about heart disease and stroke.

We can all take small steps daily to build a healthier lifestyle. Be sure to wear red this Friday, February 5. Share your picture on social media to encourage others to #WearRedandGive and #goredcbus.
