Our Stand Against Heart Disease
Heart disease and stroke are the #1 and #3 killers of adult Texans according to the DSHS Chronic Disease Epidemiology Branch, Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention Section.
Our job is to reduce death and disability caused by heart disease and stroke in Texas. We work with partners around the state to make sure heart disease and stroke remain a priority in health care, communities, and work sites.
