Tedy Bruschi’s story is both inspiring and instructional. It reminds all of us that stroke does not discriminate, that it can happen at any stage of life. Stroke is a form of heart disease, which is responsible for 630,000 deaths each year in the United States. But here’s the good news: 80 percent of heart disease is preventable! That’s why I encourage you to take the first step in fighting heart disease by seeing your personal physician for a comprehensive physical exam. If you are at risk for heart disease, your doctor can help you manage your risk factors by recommending a few healthy changes. And don’t forget that Hometown Hospital provides our community with a full range of diagnostic technology and surgical expertise to detect and treat heart disease. And it’s all right here, close to home.
