February is American Heart Month, a month to raise awareness about heart disease and how to prevent it. Heart Disease continues to be a leading cause of death in the U.S., killing more than 370,000 Americans every year. In the last few years, that number has begun to decline. For those who suffer from heart disease, managing the disease with tools such as diet, exercise, and nutrition are key.
For patients who have suffered an acute event and have required cardiac surgery, recovery is a long process. Heart Disease requires sweeping lifestyle changes. The good news? These lifestyle changes can be accomplished and be used all year long.
“When you go through a cardiac event, there is so much emotion. Many times, these crises are life-altering. Everything has to change. Everyone has to support the patient in a healthy new lifestyle.”
– Sharagim Kemp, M.D.

Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it affords people the opportunity to get around. When people are in the care of a physician, multiple trips to the doctor are necessary. Post-operative surgical patients must be especially careful about exposure to germs. A ride using an ride share app ensures that the person you want to help will receive clean door-to-door service.
What To Express In Your Card:I know that transport can be complicated. I wanted to make sure that you could get around easily. I wish I were there to do this myself – but in case you need this as a convenience on your terms – here you are! Sending love.
