Today, lawmakers begin marking up the FY27 Labor-HHS funding bill. During CPR & AED Awareness Week, Congress has a clear opportunity: fully fund the HEARTS Act and help schools save lives. Preparedness should not be left up to chance. 👉 Take action: heartpowered.org/actions/con…

Get your blood pressure checked at least once a year and understand what the numbers mean. Severe high blood pressure combined with symptoms such as chest pain or trouble speaking may be a hypertensive emergency, according to the new high blood pressure guideline, and you should call 911 immediately.

Currently, over half of calories in a typical U.S. diet come from ultraprocessed foods. Here’s what you should know.
