LOUISVILLE, KY - For Kentuckians, the need to know the risk factors, warning signs and symptoms of stroke is more critical than in many states.  May is National Stroke Awareness Month and KentuckyOne Health is working to educate the community and reduce the occurrence of stroke in the commonwealth.

FRANKFORT, KY – Over 400,000 Kentuckians may soon have a new option to receive healthcare coverage if Governor Beshear approves an expansion of Medicaid in Kentucky.  While this is a tremendous opportunity to improve the health status of many uninsured Kentuckians, with it comes the great need to educate and engage Kentuckians on what Medicaid expansion could mean for them, how it is different from traditional Medicaid and what the benefits look like.

LOUISVILLE, KY – Studies show that for every hour of vigorous physical activity, a person can gain an average of two hours of life expectancy. Regular physical activity, like walking, is critical to maintaining a healthy heart, which is why the American Heart Association encourages Kentuckiana residents to begin a 30-minute walking routine on National Walking Day – April 3, 2013.
