September Awareness Month

By Nathan Moore • September 4, 2025
This September, we invite you to join us in recognizing National Cholesterol Education Month. High cholesterol is one of the leading risk factors for heart disease and stroke, affecting nearly 95 million Americans. Maintaining healthy cholesterol levels is a key step in protecting your heart and overall health. At MedNOW Clinics, we are committed to supporting your cardiovascular health. The first step in managing cholesterol is knowing your numbers. We recommend that patients over the age of 20 have a Lipid Panel blood test every 4–6 years to monitor their levels. To schedule a cholesterol screening, you can easily contact your local MedNOW clinic or click the link on our website. For additional resources on cholesterol, we also recommend visiting the CDC website. Your health is our priority, and our team is always here to provide guidance, answer questions, and help you take proactive steps toward a healthier future. Thank you for trusting MedNOW with your care.
