Heart valve disease affects millions of people worldwide, and yet many don’t even realize they have it.🫀

The heart has four valves that regulate blood flow, and when one or more don’t work properly, it can lead to fatigue, shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, or swelling, common symptoms that can easily be mistaken, and often they are for aging or stress.

Because the signs can be subtle, heart valve disease often goes undiagnosed until it becomes more serious. Regular check-ups, awareness of your heart health, and listening to your body are key to catching it early and protecting long-term well-being.

SOMOS Community Care’s Chief Operating Officer Lidia Virgil recently joined Univision National to discuss the growing concern over new SNAP work requirements that could put thousands of families across the tri-state area at risk of losing critical food assistance. Under the new federal rules, many adults must now document at least 80 hours of work, training, or volunteering each month to remain eligible for benefits.
