"I used ♥ to: take care of our Healthcare Workers Hearts "

Because the information about cardiac health might be limited among healthcare workers, this day was the opportunity to empower the employees to know their risk factors and measures that can be taken to enhance their heart health “BECAUSE WHEN WE KNOW MORE, WE CAN TAKE BETTER CARE”.
The cardiac unit campaign focuses on the eight life essentials to maintain a healthy heart described by American heart Association including: Eat Better, Be More Active, Quit Tobacco, Get Healthy Sleep, Manage Weight, Control Cholesterol, Manage Blood Sugar, Manage Blood Pressure. Each station was covered in cooperation with the dietitian and physiotherapy departments, important health tips were discussed with the participants and healthy alternatives and measures were explained. Additionally, healthcare workers' information was challenged by “know your heart” activity with multiple questions related to the eight essential elements.
