In the primary prevention of coronary heart disease the modification of risk factors such as (diet, smoking, weight loss, diabetes control, dyslipidemia, and physical exercise) produce additive reductions in the risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, and total mortality.

At BCH, we recognize that cardiovascular disease increases the likelihood of hospitalization and death in our community. We aim to expand our Cardiopulmonary Department with equipment to detect early coronary artery disease and support patients as they recover from cardiovascular disease related hospitalizations.

Our overarching goal is to promote the health of our community. Cardiovascular disease prevention is a logical step to fulfill this goal.
