Community Programs
Heart of New Ulm Project

The Heart of New Ulm is a major initiative aimed at preventing disease versus treating it after it occurs. The project is designed to reduce the number of heart attacks that occur in the New Ulm area over the next 10 years. To achieve this goal, residents are reducing their health risks through physical activity, good nutrition and maintaining a healthy weight along with tobacco cessation programs. The project will involve community education, medical interventions and environmental changes.

The project has the potential to change the way health care — especially preventative care — is viewed and delivered across the country.
