Cardiac Care - Prevention Print Page

Prevention and education are keys to individual patients’ heart health and the overall health of our community.

Our Center for Health Promotion offers a variety of classes and programs aimed at reducing risk factors for heart disease including:
  • Weight management;
    Obesity can also lead to additional risk factors such as high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol levels, diabetes, and stroke.
  • Stress management;
    Stress can increase blood pressure, smoking, overeating, and physical inactivity.
  • General wellness;
    Make healthy lifestyle changes to control your blood pressure, cholesterol, as well as quit smoking, curb overeating, and increase physical activity.
  • Fitness and nutrition
    Physical activity and proper nutrition help control blood cholesterol levels, diabetes, obesity, and blood pressure.
  • Smoke-Free Living
    Quit smoking to lessen your risk of having a heart attack.

Our Concord Hospital Cholesterol Treatment Center is dedicated to helping adults lower cholesterol and reduce cardiac risk, and is the only facility in the State where children can be treated for cholesterol disorders. Our pioneering medical team of four physicians, a registered nurse practitioner, and three dietitians empower each patient to take an active role in their health care. All patients receive a personalized plan of care that includes a diet consultation, medication management assistance, exercise program, and follow-up with a registered dietitian.
