Heart health promoted on Valentine's Day

A local hospital has promoted heart health on Valentine's Day, February 14.

Staff at Brisbane Waters Private Hospital staff wore red to promote the importance of heart health and raise awareness for Australasia's number one killer: heart disease.

"As the key contributors to heart disease, including smoking, obesity, physical inactivity and diabetes continue to be widespread, we wanted to take the opportunity to raise awareness for heart health this Valentine's Day," said Healthe Care Australia chief executive Mr Steve Atkins.

Brisbane Waters Private Hospital is owned by Healthe Care.

Along with wearing red, the staff shared special Valentines cards with patients and each other and held a fundraising raffle in support of Health Research Australia.
