❤️ February is National Heart Month ❤️

February is recognized across Canada as National Heart Month — a time to raise awareness about heart health and encourage Canadians to take steps toward caring for their hearts.

❤️ What Is Heart Health?

Heart health refers to the overall wellness of your cardiovascular system — including your heart and blood vessels. A healthy heart efficiently pumps blood, oxygen, and nutrients throughout your body, supporting every organ and system.

When we prioritize heart health, we reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, and other cardiovascular conditions.

What are compression socks and how do they work?

Naturally, our veins have to work against gravity to pump the blood back to our heart. Sometimes, our veins need a little extra help doing this. If you have poor circulation, tired legs, blood pooling or swelling in your lower legs or feet, or are predisposed to blood clots, then compression socks might be for you. These socks work by mimicking what the valves in your veins should be doing: pushing the blood back up to your heart.

Compression socks come in a variety of styles, materials, lengths and compression levels. From athletic socks, to dress socks, to diabetic socks, we can find something that works for you.

**Most extended health care plans have full or partial coverage for prescription level gradients.**

Always remember, we're here to support you!

💖 February is Heart Month 💖

There are many reasons to recognize Heart Month, but this week we’re shining a light on Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) Awareness Week.

What is Congenital Heart Disease?
CHD is a heart condition present at birth that affects the structure and function of the heart. It’s one of the most common birth defects and can impact people of all ages — from newborns to adults.

Do you know someone who has been affected by CHD? Their journey often includes lifelong care, resilience, and incredible strength.

Let’s take a moment to raise awareness, show support, and learn more about how CHD impacts individuals and families.
