Preventive Heart Care Keep Your Heart Beating Strong
No part of your body is more critical to your overall health and wellness than your heart. You might have heard that heart disease is the leading cause of death for Americans. But there’s good news, too: the vast majority of heart disease is preventable. Simple changes — like learning your cardiovascular risk factors, eating healthier, managing your weight, exercising, and taking care of your emotional health — can have a huge impact on your heart health.
Within our network of hospitals, AdventHealth has partnered with the American Heart Association to collaborate on community initiatives that bring awareness to preventive heart care, warning signs, and healthy lifestyle changes. Many of our facilities also provide free or minimal charge screenings for common heart-health measures, including blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood-glucose levels. When you take good care of your heart, it will continue to take good care of you, today and well into the future.
Comprehensive, Preventive, Expert Care Prevent Heart Disease
- Heart Screenings, Education, and Whole-Person Health

Count on us to help you keep your heart health in check. You already know that your heart is at the center of whole-person health, but it’s especially critical if you have certain cardiovascular risk factors — like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, certain diets, or a sedentary lifestyle. If you’re at high risk of developing cardiovascular disease, your expert cardiovascular team at AdventHealth can help guide you toward a healthier lifestyle to help you prevent heart problems in the future.
We’re passionate about supporting our local communities through free lectures and heart-health education, so our neighbors and friends can learn to manage cardiovascular risk factors and prevent heart disease. We also provide free and minimal-charge heart screenings at many of the hospitals in our network. Our commitment to heart health goes well beyond diagnostics, though: our goal is to help everyone in our community learn the principles of healthy living, and that includes building a heart-healthy lifestyle that supports body, mind, and spirit.
- Know Your Cardiovascular Risk Factors
-
The more you learn about heart health and heart disease prevention, the more empowered you'll feel to take healthier living into your own hands. While age and family history play a role in your risk for cardiovascular disease, your body also sends you signals when something isn’t right. At AdventHealth, we’ll help you look out for the warning signs that mean you could be at an especially high risk for heart disease, including:
- A Family History of Cardiovascular Disease
- Poor Eating Habits or Nutrition
- Weight and Obesity
- Lack of Physical Activity
- Problems with Emotional Health
Each of these is an important factor in keeping your heart healthy and strong. We'll help you learn better eating habits through healthy recipes, smarter grocery shopping, and our partnerships with community restaurants. We can also help you improve your emotional health with extra support and resources to foster a heart-healthy life and spiritual well-being. It’s our goal to help you learn to manage your heart health as part of your larger wellness journey.
