February is Heart Month

Heart disease is the No. 1 cause of death in the United States, killing millions of people every year.

Did you know 80 percent of heart disease and stroke events are preventable? 

This February, we invite you to stand up and make a heart-healthy change in your life.

Join us all month for informative, heart-pumping events at Loma Linda University Health. 

Spread the Word

Share information about heart health with your loved ones, colleagues and friends. 

Honor a loved one on the Memorial Wall at the Student Pavilion

The Memorial Wall will provide the opportunity to honor a loved one who has been affected by heart disease, whether by diagnosis or personal loss. Submit photos to Dannielle Christiansen at dchristiansen@llu.edu, or drop off printed photos at her office in the student activities office. Printed photos are preferred, but need to be approved.

The deadline for photo entry is Feb. 19. On Instagram, you may tag photos #LLUAllHeart. Remember to make sure your Instagram profile is set to public in order for posts to be viewable.

Heart Month events are offered in partnership with the Living Whole Wellness Program, the School of Allied Health Professions, the School of Public Health, Loma Linda University Student Association and Loma Linda University Medical Center.

Stay tuned for more February Heart Month events!
