Cancer and Women ~ Every year, cancer claims the lives of more than a quarter of a million women in America. A woman can reduce her cancer risk by adopting a healthy lifestyle and getting the right cancer screening tests for her stage of life.
Global Road Safety – Motor vehicles are involved in crashes that are responsible for millions of deaths and injuries every year worldwide. Whether you're on the road at home or abroad, know the risks and take steps to protect your safety.
May is National High Blood Pressure Education Month ~ About 74.5 million people in the United States have high blood pressure, which is also called hypertension. Hypertension increases the risk for heart disease and stroke, the first and third leading causes of death in the United States. Learn how to control your blood pressure.
May is National Stroke Awareness Month ~ Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States. It is also a leading cause of serious long-term disability. While most strokes occur in people aged 65 years or older, strokes can occur at any age. Know your signs and symptoms of stroke.
