Lenawee CommunityAmbulance has made cardiac care a priority. Our goal is to do
our part to make the communities we serve "Heart Safe
communities".
Being
"Heart Safe" starts with prevention, including diet,
exercise, and not smoking. Programs to help members of the
community with these important challenges are available through our
community hospitals, and other organizations.
LCA's role in the community is to
act when prevention fails and you have a cardiac event - when you
begin suffering from chest pain, difficulty breathing, heart attack,
or sudden death. And be assured, we are well trained, well
equipped and prepared to act immediately. |
