Southampton, NY—Southampton Hospital organized a regional outreach campaign in February as part of a wider national effort by the American Heart Association to increase awareness of heart disease as the number one killer of both men and women in the United States. To cap off the month-long educational effort, the Hospital’s CardioPulmonary Rehabilitation team held an open house with free heart health screenings, healthy food samples, and information about improving heart health.
