“Happy Heart” –a new Onassis Cardiac Surgery Center campaign fighting against cardiovascular disease– is heading out onto the streets, appearing in newspapers and magazines, and popping up on our screens to remind everyone that prevention is the only path to a healthy heart, and to good health overall.
Through a series of amusing set-ups, the campaign urges everyone to adopt healthy habits. It makes clear that hearts are kept strong by the everyday decisions we make, which is why they must be the right ones.
So, starting today: stop smoking, exercise regularly, enjoy a balanced diet, manage your stress, and make sure you go for medical check-ups.
We well know the importance that good habits have on keeping our hearts healthy and strong.
The research is clear: heart disease is the number one cause of death and illness around the world, with its effects increasing significantly with age. And, in Greece, these numbers are relentlessly on the rise.
Boasting more than two million patient appointments, 52.700 of heart operations, more than 15.500 children hospitalizations and 209 heart transplants since first opening its doors in 1993, the Onassis Cardiac Surgery Center well knows the importance that good habits have on keeping our hearts healthy and strong. This campaign builds on three full decades of work achieved by a hospital donated to the Greek state – one that has transformed the public healthcare landscape in Greece and continues to help advance the medical sciences on an international level.
