On the recordFebruary 12, 2015
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remind every American that February is Heart Month. According to the American Heart Association, heart disease is the most common form of mortality among both men and women. In fact, one out of every four deaths in this country is cardiac-related. And yet many of these deaths are preventable. Small changes in diet and exercise can have an enormous and positive impact on your heart health and lifespan. We must not forget America's amazing medical researchers and practitioners who are also doing their part by pioneering innovative treatments that save lives every day. So, please remember to love your heart this Valentine's Day, and every day. ____________________
