February Awareness Month
February is American Heart Month
The month of love is here, so it is important to remember to keep your heart healthy. February is American Heart Month, and we would like to take this opportunity to remind you about the importance of focusing on your heart health and taking steps toward a healthier future.
Did you know that heart disease affects 1 in 3 adults and causes approximately 697,000 deaths annually?
Many issues can lead to heart disease such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes. But all of these issues are manageable with lifestyle changes and regular care!
Here are some tips to help you stay healthy and take charge of your heart health:
1. Know Your Numbers: Schedule a checkup to monitor blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels.
2. Stay Active: Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise most days of the week.
3. Eat Heart-Healthy Foods: Focus on a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins while limiting sodium, saturated fats, and added sugars.
4. Quit Smoking: If you smoke, quitting can significantly reduce your risk of heart disease.
5. Manage Stress: Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation to lower stress levels.
At MedNOW, we offer a Home Blood Pressure Monitoring Program and provide you with a blood pressure monitor if you choose to join. You check your blood pressure daily and send us the results. We review your readings and adjust your blood pressure medication as needed. This program helps improve blood pressure control, reduces complications, and may decrease the need for office visits and their associated costs, saving you time. If you’re interested in participating, let us know!

At MedNOW Clinics, we believe in honoring the history, cultures, and communities that shape the world around us. As we approach June 19th, we join millions across the country in recognizing Juneteenth, a powerful day of reflection, education, and celebration. Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day , marks the date in 1865 when the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, were informed of their freedom—over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. It is a day that honors the strength, resilience, and contributions of Black Americans throughout our nation’s history. This day serves as a reminder of the work that has been done—and the continued progress needed—to ensure equality and justice for all. At MedNOW, we are committed to fostering an inclusive, respectful environment for both our patients and staff, rooted in compassion, dignity, and equity. We encourage you to take time on this important day to reflect, learn, and connect with your community. Whether through attending a local celebration, supporting Black-owned businesses, or simply starting a conversation, we hope Juneteenth inspires meaningful engagement and growth. Thank you for being part of our MedNOW family. We’re proud to serve a diverse and vibrant community—and we stand with you in the pursuit of health, equality, and understanding for all. Warm regards,
