Ohio Plan to Prevent Heart Disease and Stroke 2008-2012
The Ohio Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Council (The Council) is a statewide group comprised of state-level agencies, professional organizations, and cardiovascular disease experts interested in the prevention and control of heart disease and stroke in Ohio. Through collaborative efforts, the Council created The Ohio Plan to Prevent Heart Disease and Stroke 2008–2012, Second Edition (the plan) that takes a comprehensive approach to reducing the burden of heart disease and stroke, the first and fourth-leading causes of death in Ohio. The plan addresses behavior change on multiple levels of influence and includes five goal areas with related objectives. The plan also integrates issues related to health disparities.
