Cardiovascular Disease, including heart disease and stroke, is the leading cause of death in Minnesota.

 

Welcome to the Minnesota Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Unit’s website!

Since 2000, the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has primarily received funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and local philanthropic foundations, to reduce heart attacks, strokes, deaths from these diseases, and the disabilities suffered by heart disease and stroke survivors.

To address these priorities, we provide technical assistance, epidemiological expertise and we coordinate partnerships to meet our goals.
