❤️ Are you interested in taking proactive steps for your heart health?

The Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) has partnered with the University of Ottawa Heart Institute (UOHI) and Ontario Health Team (OHT) Archipel to bring the One Million Canadian Hearts initiative to our region starting this fall.

Your risk factor screening includes:
✅ Brief assessment
✅ Blood pressure check
✅ Rapid blood test
✅ Results + recommendations

If you are 65+, you may also receive two additional tests:
🫀 ECG
🫀 Mini heart ultrasound
