Prevention and wellness education

Because 80% of heart disease is preventable through how you eat, move and live, you rely on knowing your numbers and your risk in order to live your best, healthiest life.

We are committed to:

  • Educating you about your different symptoms and risk factors.
  • Promoting action regarding biometrics, knowing your numbers, assessing your heart health, and developing a wellness plan to lower your risk.
  • Help you make lifestyle changes that can reduce your risk of heart disease, such as exercising, maintaining a healthy weight, and eating a nutritious diet.
Welcome to our heart-conscious community!
  • Access to free Basecamp Prevention + Wellness movement classes, wellbeing classes and nutritional education opportunities.
  • Invitations to our free monthly Healthy Conversations and twice a year to our Women’s Wellness Workshops (February and October).
