February Marks American Heart Month

In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson declared the first American Heart Month. February now marks the month where the nation focuses on heart health. It’s an important cause to follow since heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women. Denoyer-Geppert Science Company will like to support American Heart Month this February by spreading the word on the importance of heart health and education.
