February is Heart Health month, so in addition to focusing on prevention and warning signs, I wanted to talk about how Assisting Hands Home Care can make a difference after a heart attack.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S., but advances in medical technology and practice have raised the survival rate for a heart attack to around 60%.  People who come home from the hospital afterwards have probably been spoken to by their doctor about lifestyle changes and other ways to prevent a recurrence.  Home care is a powerful resource for reducing the chances of another hospitalization.

We put together the flyer below to address common fears and sources of anxiety for heart attack survivors.  If you have concerns about a loved one or are not sure about your own heart health, call Assisting Hands for a free consultation!
