Good to Know Info
American Heart Month
The American Heart Association (AHA) held their annual Legislative Day at the Capitol this week. February is American Heart Month. Legislators and staff wore red and took this cool photo to bring attention to the cause. Thank you to our constituent, Lori Heideman from Nekoosa, for visiting with me in Madison. See the American Heart Association website for information on current research in Wisconsin and what's being done in our state to help end heart disease and stroke.
