Heart Health Resources for Teachers
Helping educators share heart-healthy lessons with the next generation
We all know how important it is to take care of ourselves when we're young. And we also know that in today's hectic world, it's sometimes difficult to make the healthiest choices. That's why we work with teachers and other educators across the region to help children and adolescents learn more about heart health and how to maintain it.

We offer many resources for bringing heart-healthy lessons into the classroom.
