Why Is This Important?
Heart disease has been one of the top leading causes of death in Franklin County for the past few years. It’s important to focus our efforts on the prevention of heart disease due to the negative impact it can have on an individual’s quality of life. Also, tobacco users are more likely to develop heart disease so it’s crucial to target tobacco cessation programs to help reduce the burden of this health condition.
If we are successful in achieving this result, we anticipate a Frankin County where:
-
Individuals are living healthy lifestyles that promote heart health
-
Adults and adolescents do not use tobacco or e-cigarette products
-
There is access to high quality tobacco cessation services for treatment and recovery
-
All individuals are free from the burden of chronic diseases
