2021 West Michigan Have Faith in Heart COVID-19 Information Webinar
Our Community Impact in West Michigan
This year, we have proven we can turn on a dime to address our county’s biggest health challenges. But we have more to do. By participating in our events such as Heart Walks, Galas, Go Red for Women and the Kids Heart Challenge, you further the mission of the American Heart Association.
Rethink Your Drink
We won’t sugarcoat it: sugary drinks like energy drinks, pop and fruit drinks have been linked to heart disease and other chronic illnesses. But with a few substitutions, Michigan families can dump the sugar and improve their health.
CPR & First Aid Training
Emergencies leave us feeling helpless, but they don’t have to. Take two minutes to learn Hands-Only CPR™ now. 70 percent of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen in homes. When a person has a cardiac arrest, immediate CPR can double or triple their chance of survival. Prepare to save a life, find a CPR course near you today.
2022 Stroke Awareness Webinar in conjunction with Trinity Health
High blood pressure is the second leading cause of preventable heart disease and stroke death. But you can control and treat several risk factors for stroke.
Join us and local leaders in health for a stroke wellness webinar to learn more about proactive steps you can take to live a healthier life.
Thank you to Trinity Health for sponsoring this event.
