American Heart Association

This week on In Touch, we have Kathy McCarthy, Senior Marketing Communications Director of the American Heart Association of New York. We discuss the upcoming Hudson Valley Heart Walk on April 27th happening on the Walkway Over the Hudson. We also talk about the signs and symptoms of heart disease, and what you can do if you witness someone in cardiac distress.

Do you have a heart healthy recipe your want to share with the Hudson Valley?

Has your favorite charity or organization had to change the way they raise much needed funds in 2021? Here's how one organization is making it happen:

This Saturday May 2 you can be part of the 2020 Tri-County Heart Walk which raises money for the American Heart Association.

Don't forget about the Dutchess Ulster Virtual Heart Walk this Saturday, April 18th. Need some fun country songs to get you moving? Don't worry, we got it covered.

Do you know anyone in your life who has been impacted by heart disease or stroke? Chances are you do and, according to statistics, if you don’t yet, you soon will.

If you have women in your life who are important to you, show your support and help raise awareness about women and heart disease by wearing red this Friday.

This week, we're talking about tips and ideas on how to make some simple changes in our diets that can have a big impact as to how happy and healthy we are.

Monies raised through this walk, help fund the largest non-government funding source for heart and stroke research, the #1 and #5 killers of Americans.

March is National Nutrition Month, plus it's Heart Walk Month. We'll get you ready for both on this week's program.
