Supporting National Preparedness Month
During September 2008, National Preparedness Month, HealthTank joined the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to help people better prepare for emergencies by offering free Preparedness Decks to all who signed up.
National Preparedness Month is a nationwide effort held each September to encourage Americans to take simple steps to prepare for emergencies in their homes, businesses and schools. At HealthTank, we value the government's mission to create a culture of preparedness by planning for emergencies, staying informed, and getting involved. Our Preparedness Deck™ provides a fun way to learn how to prepare for both man-made and natural disasters that could affect your health.
For more information about National Preparedness Month, visit www.ready.gov.
The Preparedness Deck™ is an actual deck of playing cards that includes 54 tips about how to prepare for and respond to unforeseen emergency situations like hurricanes, tornados, fires, explosions, and floods. Planning for these events will help you, your loved ones, colleagues, and customers improve chances of survival when emergency situations arise.
Our team at HealthTank is committed to creating awareness for good preparation techniques that can help lessen or eliminate deaths, injuries, and property damage during emergencies. Every household should have a plan, an emergency preparedness kit, and a clear understanding of how to use available resources to aid in survival. With the Preparedness Deck™, you can learn about this vital subject while playing a favorite card game, such as solitaire, spades, poker, or blackjack. A simple card game today could help save a life tomorrow!

| Raising Awareness of Heart Disease in Women | |
HealthTank supports First Lady Mrs. Bush and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's Heart Truth campaign to elevate awareness of heart disease among women. Heart disease is the single largest cause of death among women as it is with men, yet it is often mistaken to be primarily a man’s disease. In fact, six out of ten stroke deaths happen in women, and more women die of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases than from all causes of cancer combined. |

HealthTank President, Dr. Ikenna Okezie,
|
On February 11, 2008, the President and Mrs. Bush hosted a Heart Truth reception at the White House to celebrate the fifth year of Mrs. Bush’s service as ambassador to raise heart disease awareness among women. In addition, the Heart Truth campaign is supported by the Red Dress project, through which the fashion industry encourages women to lead heart-healthy lifestyles and wear a red dress pin to show their support of good heart health. The Heart Truth campaign is making women more aware of the dangers and risks of heart disease. The campaign offers a wide variety of resources to help individuals and local communities raise awareness, including educational materials for women to learn about heart disease and how to reduce their risks, national public service advertising, and community and corporate programs to expand the reach of The Heart Truth campaign’s message.
