Cardiovascular Health State Plan
The Cardiovascular Health (CVH) Division, with help from our major community partner, the American Heart Association, as well as SC DHEC regional staff, identified other stakeholders and resources to be engaged in the development of the state’s CVH plan. Involving all of these groups throughout the state resulted in fostering a vested interest in the development, implementation and evaluation of a sustainable state plan.
The mission of the Cardiovascular Health State Plan is to work with community partners and programs to improve cardiovascular health and the quality of life by promoting:
- Prevention, detection, and treatment of risk factors for CVD
- Early identification and treatment of cardiovascular diseases
- Prevention of recurring heart attacks and strokes
The State Plan (pdf) was published in March 2003.
