Heart Health and Wellness When Working in Public Safety

The Sigma First Responder Health Initiative addresses the high rates of heart disease in law enforcement and firefighters, who experience issues at younger ages and without typical clinical markers. The program aims to reduce pre-clinical heart disease, hypertension, and improve overall health outcomes through lifestyle changes, including weight loss and reductions in tobacco and alcohol use. The initiative strives to prevent cardiac events and improve long-term health for first responders.
