Your Heart, Your Health: What to Know This American Heart Month

Every February, we observe American Heart Month, a time to pause and focus on the most hardworking organ in the human body. At Southern Regional Medical Center, we believe heart health is about more than preventing disease; it's about supporting whole-body wellness so you can live fully and confidently. Often called the body's engine, your heart works nonstop, pumping life-sustaining blood, oxygen, and nutrients to every cell.

Exceptional heart care starts right here at our hospital and is strengthened by being part of the Prime Healthcare system. In 2025, the American Heart Association recognized 84% of Prime Healthcare hospitals with Get With The Guidelines® awards for excellence in stroke, heart failure, and diabetes care. These recognitions reflect our shared commitment to evidence-based care and better outcomes for the patients we serve.
