Feb. 3, 2014
To many, February is a month celebrated with heart-shaped candies, gifts and flowers, all in the name of Saint Valentine. As of 2009, President Obama also set February as the month to promote heart disease awareness across the United States. In addition, President Obama’s proclamation states that American Heart Month is reserved to “honor the health professionals, researchers and other heart health ambassadors whose efforts help all Americans live longer and healthier lives.”
