Resource Spotlight: Heart-Healthy Firefighter Program

July 21, 2014

Heart attack is the leading cause of on-duty firefighter deaths, and many others are affected by life threatening or life altering conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, and heart disease. Poor heart health puts you at risk, as well as those who depend on you. The Heart-Healthy Firefighter Program provides resources to help firefighters and EMTs get and stay healthy and assists departments in implementing a successful wellness program. Find resources including fitness video demonstrations, health assessment tools, the Fired Up for Fitness Challenge, sponsorship toolkit, recipe archive, smoking cessation resources, online training, and much more at www.healthy-firefighter.org.
