Looking for Resources During COVID-19?

The Financial Resources Hotline is a virtual “one-stop-shop” where callers receive over-the-phone guidance in navigating a variety of topics.
The project is part of a nationwide initiative including 52 municipalities with similar projects. The City of Little Rock Department of Community Programs has contracted with the Our House Career Center to field over 10,000 calls from residents seeking assistance.

3 BIG THINGS: BLOOD PRESSURE
- Nearly half of all Americans have high blood pressure, and many don't know they have it. Uncontrolled high blood pressure robs us of precious times with loved ones.
- HBP is a silent killer that causes unnecessary and inequitable disease, disability, and death. It can cause heart attacks, heart failure, stroke and other devastating conditions.
- Blood pressure can be largely controlled through a combination of lifestyle changes or medication or both. Together with our heroes, the AHA is uniquely positioned to help everyone have more time with those we love. Our Check. Change. Control., Target: BP, and self-measured blood pressure programs are just a few of the ways we're making a difference.
THIS MONTH’S HEART HEALTHY TIP IS… SODIUM CAN BE SNEAKY!
TIP:
Prepare food at home to have more control over the sodium in food. Replace salt in recipes with herbs, spices, citrus, or vinegar. Foods that look the same may contain different amounts of salt! Compare labels. Choose the item with the lesser amount of sodium. Learn how to change your salty ways in only 21 days.
MONTHLY CHALLENGE: Try tracking your sodium this month by using our sodium tracker!
