Heart Healthy Toolbox

PCNA recognizes the critical roles that healthy nutrition, physical activity, exercise, smoking cessation, and successful management of stress play in cardiovascular health. We also recognize the challenge of communicating evidence-based information and, more importantly, coaching patients with behavior change, in the space of a brief clinical encounter. We hope that these patient education and clinical tools will amplify your efforts.

This comprehensive toolkit includes information and actionable worksheets for both patients and healthcare professionals to aid in the prevention and management of cardiovascular disease. Each tool can be used on its own or in conjunction with other resources. Whether you are looking for a single tool on a particular topic or a series of tools to help you and your patients, the Heart Healthy Toolbox is a go-to resource for your healthcare team.
