Step your way into some cash

February is American Heart Month The month of February is recognized as American Heart Month. February 1 was Wear Red Day, a day used to kick off the month and raise awareness of heart health in women. Dr. Maliha Zahid, Excela Health cardiologist, said “Traditionally, heart disease had been considered to be a ‘man’s disease’. That is no longer the case. The importance of heart disease in women and the differences and challenges they present are being recognized widely now.” Join Excela Health and Dr. Zahid in recognizing American Heart Month by promoting heart health!
