February is American Heart Month, and it’s important to remember that kidney disease is closely linked to heart health. Taking care of your kidneys means taking care of your heart, too. ❤️💪
Earlier this month, Dr. Scantlebury, healthcare consultant for the DPC Education Center, hosted her monthly Facebook Live session and addressed pressing questions about heart health — including how to reduce your risk and avoid being admitted for heart disease.
