Cardiovascular Health Program Subscribe to this page Mission: The Cardiovascular Health Program's (CVH) mission is to promote cardiovascular disease prevention and control, by focusing on high blood pressure, and blood cholesterol, heart attack and stroke. Program Description: The Cardiovascular Health Program's goal is to decrease the number of deaths due to cardiovascular disease (heart disease and stroke) in Nebraska. The program is progressing on the development of a comprehensive approach to cardiovascular disease, through population-based strategies that focus on an identified population or area rather than on individual behavior change. Strategies include policy and environmental approaches or education and awareness supportive of the need for policy, environmental, and systems changes to support cardiovascular health. The activities of the program focus on working with local/district health departments, communities, work-sites, faith organizations, schools, health care systems, voluntary organizations, state agencies, and other Health and Human Services System programs. The program is federally funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention- Statewide Heart Disease and Stoke Prevention Grant.
