The month of February is designated as American Heart Month. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for Americans. According to the CDC:

• Every 40 seconds, someone in the United States suffers from a heart attack.
• About 1 in 5 heart attacks are silent.
• Coronary heart disease is the most common type of heart disease, killing 382,820 people in 2020.

The Moshannon Valley YMCA will be celebrating American Heart Month from February 12-18, so be sure to stop in!
