Good Samaritan is dedicating the month of February to your heart. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), heart disease kills almost 700,000 people in the United States each year, amounting to one in every four deaths in this country. Knowing your risk for heart disease is the first step in keeping your heart healthy. To help you learn your risk, Good Samaritan offers a heart health assessment on its website. Those who visit gshvin.org/heart can choose to take the free online heart health assessment. The short assessment will display various questions asking for a person’s health information to determine their heart disease risk and the age of their heart. The results can be printed for the user to share with their health care provider.
