❤️ DID YOU KNOW? February is American Heart Month.

According to the CDC, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for men, women, and even higher in minority ethnicities and racial groups in the US.

This month, we encourage you to have vital conversations about heart health, physical activities, and eating habits.

Conversations are the foundation to better health and wellness. Like our Physician’s Lead, James Pecard, PA says, “Sometimes the best medicine is just listening.”

Here are 5 everyday ways to create healthier hearts:

1. Take a 10-minute walk a day
2. Eat one extra fruit or vegetable a day
3. Breathe deeply 3x a day (in for 5 seconds, hold for 5 seconds, out for 5 seconds)
4. Wash those hands!
5. Call us at 773.782.2800 for your annual checkup! We’ll always be here with a listening ear, caring hearts, and healthcare solutions to meet your needs.

These simple habits can help keep your blood pressure down, prevent the spread of disease, and get your body moving for a healthier, happier heart.

Are you concerned about getting the COVID-19 vaccine?

Before you search for answers on the internet, check that the information comes from a credible source and is updated on a regular basis. ¡Que no te engañen!

What better resource than your local physician! Hear from our very own Dr. Jennifer Powell, MD who gives you credible insight into the benefits of taking the vaccine.

“I would encourage everyone who is interested in the vaccine to figure out a way to get it,” says Dr. Powell. “I think it is a miracle of modern science.”

Get vaccinated and call us at 773-782-2800 if you have any questions! ... See MoreSee Less

We are honored for Angel Harvey Family Health Center to be the first home for Pluie!

Pluie is co-founded by mom team, Addie Gundry and Brittany Hizer. It’s the world’s first and only self-sanitizing diaper changing with a patented UVC light system that sanitizes the table within 1 minute and kills 99.9% of germs, bacteria and viruses including COVID-19, ecoli and influenza.

We are grateful for this generous donation by the founders as part of their mission to see a Pluie installed in every restroom across America regardless of socioeconomic status.

Come on in and check it out in our pediatrics wing 🍼

It warms our hearts to hear from happy patients!

One of our patients - she goes by Tia Manira! - checked the boxes, according to CDC Phase 1B requirements: 65 or older, first responder, education employee, etc. So she was called in to receive a COVID vaccine and was elated!

"I'm so humbled by the opportunity of being called to take my COVID vaccine. I can’t believe it. I feel so much safer and am so grateful to have this health center in my community. You're doing such great things not just for me but for my family too. Thank you for your kindness, information, and making me feel seen and valued."

Thank you to all our doctors, nurses, and front-line medical staff.

¡Ustedes son los verdaderos héroes!

As we celebrate both Black History Month and American Heart Month, we are honored to highlight a remarkable Black pioneer in cardiology, Dr. Daniel Hale Williams.

Dr. Williams was one of the first physicians to perform a successful open-heart surgery. He founded ProvidentHospital here in Chicago in 1893, the first black-owned hospital and the first medical facility with an interracial staff.

It’s important we reflect on the advancements and medical innovations made by trailblazers in our history, especially those of underrepresented groups. Here’s to you, Dr. Williams! Thank you for being a positive influence on future generations of black and brown cardiologists and health professionals!

The CDC is putting a face to some of the names responsible for making recommendations of vaccines.

It is important for the public to know how the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, an independent group of experts, develops recommendations and advises CDC on the use of vaccines in our country and the process for making recommendations on COVID-19 vaccines.
