February is recognized as Heart Health Awareness Month to address cardiovascular diseases, the leading cause of death worldwide. Throughout the month, free resources and information are made available to raise awareness about heart disease prevention, manage risks like high blood pressure, and encourage healthy lifestyle choices to reduce cardiovascular events.
For Alhambra residents, taking preventative steps to create healthy hearts is crucial. Heart disease does not discriminate by age or background, and many cardiac emergencies happen at home, at work, or in public places where immediate action by a bystander can mean the difference between life and death.
On February 24, 2026, Arroyo Vista Family Health Center and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health are partnering for a free event featuring Hands-Only CPR demonstrations and information on reducing heart disease. Hands-Only CPR is a life-saving skill that increases the survival rate of a person in a cardiac arrest emergency. By learning CPR and understanding heart health risks, Alhambra residents can play an active role in creating a safer, healthier community where neighbors are prepared to act when every second counts.
