The Toledo Club of NANBPWC Inc. wants to bring awareness to
the community about heart disease and stroke.
The women would like to encourage everyone to:
*Get checkups for blood pressure and cholesterol.
* Don't smoke
* Eat right, watch your weight and exercise
* Know the risk factors and signs of a heart attack
* Teach your family and love ones about why it's so
important to stay active
* Developed a heart health plan
This disease claims millions of American women each year and
also affects more men as well.
Sarah Burkes,Toledo Club health chairman, and the members
thank the community for their support of the health programs
and the help given by spreading the word on how important it
is to take charge of our health. Frances C. Collins, PhD,
Toledo Club president, says that it is important to know
your numbers: blood pressure, blood sugar, BMI (body mass
index), and cholesterol.
