#SaludTues Tweetchat 2/25: Healthy Latino Hearts

Share On Social!

February is American Heart Month. While awareness is important for all people, certain groups—like Latinos—are at a higher risk for heart-related diseases.

Cardiovascular diseases are the primary cause of death in the United States.

For Latinos, it is the second-leading cause of death behind cancer.

Let’s use #SaludTues on Feb. 25, 2020, to tweetchat about ways to promote heart health for Latinos and all people!
