Do you want information and support in regard to your Heart Health?

Then why not visit the My Living Well Website...

❤️ Heart disease… it’s not just a man thing!
Think heart disease only affects men? Think again.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of death among women and is often under-diagnosed. South Asian women and Black women can face an even greater risk.
Know your risk. Get checked. Start the conversation.
