In a significant initiative to promote cardiovascular health, more than a dozen troopers from the New York State Police participated in comprehensive heart health screenings. The event included essential procedures such as blood work, cardiac calcium scans, and personalized consultations with healthcare professionals.

With the demanding nature of their work, it is vital for officers to prioritize their health to ensure they can perform their duties effectively.
