Veterans showed their hearts some love today at our American Heart Month event in the Atrium at John D. Dingell VAMC ❤️
From Whole Health and Nutrition to Cardiology and Telehealth, our teams connected Veterans with tools, resources, and expert guidance to support lifelong heart health.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, asked questions, and took the next step toward a healthier future.

As a Veteran, your military service may have exposed you to unique factors that can increase your risk of heart disease.
In addition to traditional risk factors such as high blood pressure and diabetes, mental health concerns such as PTSD and depression can contribute to your risk.
The Million Veteran Program is studying ways to improve treatments for heart disease.
