Heart Health Month is a great time to appreciate everything your heart does and the care available close to home. Here are a few heart healthy fun facts.

❤️Your heart weighs between 7 and 15 ounces. On average, a man’s heart weighs about 10 ounces and a woman’s weighs about 8 ounces.
❤️Your heart pumps about 2,000 gallons of blood every day.
❤️That blood travels nearly 12,000 miles through your body daily, about four times the distance across the United States.
❤️Over your lifetime, your heart will pump close to one million barrels of blood.
❤️Laughing is good for your heart. It helps blood vessels relax and can increase blood flow by up to 20 percent.
❤️Your aorta, the largest artery in your body, is about the size of a garden hose and carries blood from your heart to the rest of your body.

Throughout our history, your gifts to the Foundation have helped build the heart and vascular program at McLaren Northern Michigan into one of the best in the nation. For a fourth year in a row and fifth year overall, our heart program has been named one of the nation’s 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals.

Your generosity makes this level of care possible by helping equip our medical teams to treat, inform, and comfort patients right here in northern Michigan. Learn more about heart care and how you can support it at https://www.mclaren.org/northern-michigan-foundation/heart-care

February is Heart Health Month, a time to focus on simple ways to care for your heart and recognize the impact of local support. Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States, but small daily habits can make a real difference.

Heart healthy tips to get started
• Move more in ways that work for you, such as walking, biking, taking the stairs, or gentle movement throughout the day
• Aim for at least 60 minutes of moderate activity each week, and work toward 150 minutes for even greater benefits
• Break it up in a way that fits your life, like 30 minutes a day, five days a week

Throughout our history, your gifts to the Foundation have helped build the heart and vascular program at McLaren Northern Michigan into one of the best in the nation.

Thank you to our donors, whose generous financial support made it possible to purchase a Bilisoft Phototherapy System, bringing state-of-the-art care to newborns with jaundice. This advanced technology replaced older equipment, offering a more comfortable treatment experience.
