Welcome to Ulster County’s Communitywide Effort to Prevent and Manage Heart Disease

Heart Disease is the leading cause of death in Ulster County, in New York State and the nation. In 2024, the Ulster County Department of Health convened a team of professionals and community partners to develop and implement a Strategic Plan of Action designed to reduce Ulster County’s Heart Disease related fatality rate; enhance our community’s capacity to prevent Heart Disease before it occurs, and to assist people who have Heart Disease to manage it and access effective care and treatment.
