February is American Heart Month, a time to raise awareness about the importance of heart health and inspire action toward healthier habits. With heart disease still the leading cause of death in the U.S., this month serves as a powerful reminder of the steps we can all take to protect our hearts and safeguard our overall well-being. By focusing on small, consistent improvements, we can reduce the risk of heart disease .
Here in Haskell, the team at Haskell Memorial Hospital understands how important it is to have convenient healthcare close to home — especially when it comes to preventing, recovering from, or managing heart disease.
That’s why we’re proud to offer Cardiac Rehab, a comprehensive outpatient program for patients recovering from a cardiac event, like a heart attack or heart valve surgery, to improve function and prevent future events. Our Cardiac Rehab team works closely with each patient to develop a personalized care plan to address their specific diagnosis, physical ability, and overall goals. This structured approach supports gradual, appropriate increases in activity levels and includes valuable education on heart health, healthy lifestyle habits, and emotional well-being.
In addition, for added convenience, the Haskell Rural Health Clinic hosts a variety of specialists on site, including cardiology. Once a month, patients can receive expert cardiac evaluations and follow-up care without leaving Haskell. And if you need additional diagnostic tests — like lab work, EKG, and echocardiograms — you can request to have them done right here in Haskell as well.
As we recognize American Heart Month in 2025, let’s come together to make our heart health a priority. Whether you’re just beginning your recovery from a heart-related event, managing a chronic condition, or simply looking for ways to stay healthy, Haskell Memorial Hospital is here to support you every step of the way.
