THE CALENDAR SAYS HEART MONTH ...
WE JUST CALL IT TODAY.
The Cardiovascular Institute at St. Luke's Cornwall Hospital includes a team of more than 35 professionals
ready to help you make choices that can lead to a healthier heart. Risk factors for heart disease include
smoking, obesity, lack of physical activity, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. A person's individual
response to stress and alcohol consumption, and genetic history, can also have a substantial impact. One
way to detect potential heart disease early is to take advantage of the many diagnostic procedures we offer.
Anticipating and responding to the lifelong cardiac needs of the mid-Hudson Valley is one of our top priorities.
We truly are with you, for life.
