Be Heart Smart is a multi-session, lecture-based program for individuals who want to learn more about preventing heart disease by making heart-healthy lifestyle changes. This program will teach participants how to monitor risk factors for heart disease and how to make simple changes to their daily routine that can improve their heart health.

Thanks to a generous grant from Lake County Indiana Health Department, Purdue Extension in Lake County will be offering the popular Be Heart Smart program at no cost to Lake County Indiana residents. The classes will include a Be Heart Smart program manual, a heart-healthy cookbook, food demonstrations and tastings, and educational instruction focused on the benefits of following a heart-healthy lifestyle.

Join Linda Curley, Purdue Extension Health and Human Sciences Educator for this four-session program by registering at one of these local library locations throughout Lake County: Crown Point, Dyer-Schererville, Griffith-Calumet Township, Hammond, Hobart, Lowell, Merrillville, Munster, St. John, Whiting. Each session is 1.5 - 2 hours. Are you ready to Be Heart Smart?
