February is American Heart Month, a time to raise awareness about the importance of heart health and inspiring healthier habits. With heart disease remaining the leading cause of death in the U.S., it’s a crucial reminder of the steps to take to protect our hearts and enhance our overall well-being. By focusing on small, consistent improvements — like managing blood pressure, staying active, and eating well — we can help reduce the risk of heart disease.
Our team at McCamey County Hospital District is committed to championing heart health throughout our community. At the McCamey Rural Health Clinic, we bring heart care home by offering monthly appointments with a cardiologist for check-ups, medication management, and personalized guidance. These visits give you a clear picture of your heart health, along with any steps you can take to stay healthy.
Heart health check-ups include:
- Routine heart exams
- Lab work
- Treatment for high blood pressure
- Medication refills and adjustments
- EKGs (electrocardiogram)
- Echocardiograms
And more!
To schedule your heart health check-up, call (432) 652-4010. Remember, prevention and early detection can make all the difference when it comes to heart disease, so don’t wait for symptoms to appear before seeking reassurance or care. By staying informed, setting realistic goals, and reaching out for professional support, you’re already on the path to better heart health.
As we recognize American Heart Month in 2025, let’s put heart health front and center for ourselves, our families, and our neighbors. McCamey County Hospital District is here to guide you every step of the way, from initial evaluations to ongoing management. Take advantage of this opportunity to start the year strong, and together, we’ll build a healthier tomorrow—one heartbeat at a time.
