Unit seeking partners to develop heart programs Community-based group met to brainstorrp about expanding "Take Heart Huron" program CLINTON - The Huron County Health Unit host- ed a Heart Health Meeting last Wednesday to bring together health care practitioners and members of the community. who have a connection with heart health. The Health Unit is ex- panding its "Take Heart Huron" pro- gram and is looking for partners in developing a county -wide heart health program. Working to reduce the incidence of heart disease is a provincially - supported mandate of the Health Unit and one of the criteria for funding is public input. Heart disease is the leading cause death in Huron County and makes up more than a quarter of the total deaths. This number is also re- flective of the provincial statistics. In addition to the number of people dying, heart disease results in illness, lost work, lost quality time with family and a financial burden to the health care system. The cost of treating ischemic heart disease is estimated at 52 billion in Ontario and loss of productivity is estimated at $4.5 billion. "When all other other causes of death declined, heart disease rose," said Sharon Abel, Healthy Life - II othe causes declin disease styles Team Leader, adding, "The use of tobacco is a major health problem." Quitting smoking is related to a decrease in heart disease noted in the mid 1960's. At least 13,000 deaths in Ontario can be attributed to tobacco use that results in cancers and contributes to heart dis- ease. In 1993-94 London's University Hospital per- formed 314 tobacco -related coronary bypass surger- ies costing the health care system more than $7 million. Tobacco use is associated with 80 per cent of coronary bypass surgeries. Although many risk factors such as family history, age and gender cannot be changed, lifestyle choices can make a difference. Being smoke-free, phys- ically active and making healthy food choices areways to lower risk of heart disease. Stress management is also an important factor in increasing heart health. Following an overview of causes and ramifications of heart disease in Ontario, the meeting broke into small discussion groups tha identified obstacles to creating a county- wide program. One barrier is the fact Huron is a spread -out community without a central means of distributing information. An attempt to change at- titudes through communication was also discussed. The group will meet again at 10 a.m. on August 21 at the Health Unit in Clinton to plan heart health program activites. When all r other of death ed, heart rose."
