Health Sciences student volunteer Sam helps Brock Niagara-Centre member Wayne check his blood pressure as part of the Heart Strong program. The Heart Strong Program caters to individuals with known cardiovascular disease, including those who have experienced a heart attack, angina, angioplasty, and/or coronary bypass graft surgery. As well, those patients with risk factors including high blood pressure, diabetes, overweight/obesity and/or high cholesterol are also welcome. The program is geared towards exercise, but also includes information sessions designed to educate participants about various heart disease risk factors and teach them how to manage their risk of cardiovascular disease.
