February — American Heart Month
NCUIH recognizes American Heart Month this February and encourages awareness around heart health and cardiovascular disease prevention. American Indian and Alaska Native communities continue to experience higher rates of heart disease, influenced by factors such as access to preventive care, chronic stress, nutrition, and physical activity.
Heart health is supported through early prevention, routine checkups, and culturally informed education. By sharing this message and promoting heart-healthy practices, Urban Indian Organizations and communities can help strengthen long-term wellness and support healthier outcomes for Native populations.
