As a heart and vascular care leader in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, we believe it’s part of our role to help prevent heart disease. That’s why the Florence Wormald Heart & Vascular Institute at St. Elizabeth set a goal: To work with our community to reduce heart-related deaths in Northern Kentucky 25% by the end of 2025 – what we call “25 by ’25.” Reduce Your Risk for Heart Disease When you know your risk factors, follow your doctor’s screening recommendations and adopt heart-healthy behaviors, you can protect yourself from heart and vascular disease. Here’s how we can help: Heart education and prevention programs – We offer a variety of programs to promote healthful habits, including interactive education for kids and heart-health classes for adults. Lifesaving health tips – Through our community outreach efforts, we help you recognize heart attack symptoms and show you how to deliver hands-only CPR to someone in cardiac arrest – knowing this information can save lives. Heart and vascular screenings – Our CardioVascular Mobile Health Unit offers convenient, low-cost screenings to help you lower your risk of heart disease, stroke and other vascular diseases. In addition, we offer a variety of classes, including the Freedom from Smoking-cessation program and special classes for those living with heart failure. Join us and help make “25 by ’25” a reality.
