Mission:
The Cardiovascular Health Program's (CVH) mission is to promote cardiovascular disease
prevention and control, by focusing on high blood pressure, and blood cholesterol, heart
attack and stroke.
Program Description:
The Cardiovascular Health Program's goal is to decrease the number of deaths due to
cardiovascular disease (heart disease and stroke) in Nebraska. The program is progressing
on the development of a comprehensive approach to cardiovascular disease, through
population-based strategies that focus on an identified population or area rather than on
individual behavior change. Strategies include policy and environmental approaches or
education and awareness supportive of the need for policy, environmental, and systems
changes to support cardiovascular health. The activities of the program focus on working
with local/district health departments, communities, work-sites, faith organizations,
schools, health care systems, voluntary organizations, state agencies, and other Health
and Human Services System programs. The program is federally funded by the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention- Statewide Heart Disease and Stoke Prevention Grant.
