February is American Heart Month. Ascension St. Vincent, former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning and father, former NFL quarterback Archie Manning, have teamed up to promote vascular screenings and heart scans.
Ascension St. Vincent is proud to have one of the nation’s leading cardiovascular programs. The campaign will kick off with new TV commercials featuring Peyton Manning and his father Archie. This heart and vascular care awareness campaign is designed to reach adult children and their parents and show them how to have an easy conversation about heart and vascular health, while making an appointment with Ascension St. Vincent doctors.
“Ascension St. Vincent values the ongoing partnership we have with Peyton and Archie, and we are thrilled they are collaborating with us to get the word out to our communities and those most in need of heart and vascular care,†said Jonathan Nalli, Senior Vice President, Ascension Ministry Market Executive, Ascension St. Vincent. “Identifying heart and vascular problems is crucial and can save lives.â€
According to the CDC, heart disease is the leading cause of death for men, women, and people of most racial and ethnic groups in the United States. One person dies every 36 seconds from cardiovascular disease, and about 655,000 Americans die from heart disease each year—that’s 1 in every 4 deaths.
“We’re so thankful to Peyton and Archie for coming together to encourage heart and trivascular screenings,” said Nick Ragone, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer for Ascension. “These important screenings can catch heart and vascular concerns early. It’s critical that this important care not be deferred or delayed.”
