February is Heart Health Awareness Month, a time to focus on caring for your heart. Heart disease is the leading cause of death, and LGBTQ+ individuals often face higher risks because of factors like chronic stress from discrimination and social stigma, which can raise inflammation, blood pressure, and heart rate. The good news is that many heart conditions can be prevented. At Mazzoni Center, we believe in whole-person care and creating a welcoming, inclusive space where you can be yourself. Our providers work together with you to create plans that help improve your heart health. Our behavioral health team supports patients beyond just physical health. Schedule an appointment today to take care of your heart.
