MHF - Cardiovascular Health
Cardiovascular disease (CVD), including heart disease and stroke, remains the No. 1 killer of Americans and exacts a disproportionate toll on many racial and ethnic groups that have higher rates of CVD and its risk factors. Erlanger is working to “Close the Gap” to reduce heart health disparities for African American and Hispanic/Latino populations as well as women.
Let's Work Together to Close the Gap!
