In compliance with Heart Health Month, Hy-Vee’s Registered Dietitians will hold an event during February that focuses on heart health and employs healthy heart behavior. The nutritionist team will host educational events, including virtual cooking and nutrition classes, with free direct cholesterol screening at selected locations.
February is also Black History Month, and this year’s theme is “Black Health and Wellness.” According to the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), African-American individuals are 30% more likely to die of heart disease than non-Hispanic white individuals. Hy-Vee is committed to supporting racial unity and equality across the eight Midwestern states and continues to work with racial unity and equality partners to address medical inequality. I am. The relevant and useful events and classes outlined below have been created with all Hy-Vee customers in mind.
