OGDENSBURG -- Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center and Canton-Potsdam Hospital are promoting the American Heart Assocation’s “Little Hats, Big Hearts” program.
The American Heart Association and The Children’s Heart Foundation are working together to collect and distribute red hats to babies born during February to help raise awareness of heart health and congenital heart defect.
“The Little Hats, Big Hearts program raises awareness of heart disease, the number one killer of Americans, and congenital heart defects, the most common type of birth defect in the country,” according to a CHMC news release.
More than 110 red baby caps were knitted by the community, to be distributed to local hospitals. Babies born during the month of February will receive a cap, and parents will receive information on heart disease prevention.
