Reducing the risk of a subsequent heart-related hospital stay.
Helping manage risk factors for heart disease, including high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and diabetes.
Promoting healthier lifestyle changes, such as getting regular exercise and eating a healthier diet.
Helping improve overall health and quality of life.
