Commissioner John V. Kelly and the staff of Nutley Health Department, would like to remind residents that February is American Heart Health Month, and encourage all citizens in Nutley to show their support in preventing heart disease by learning more about heart health, eating a healthy diet and maintaining an active lifestyle.

Since 1963, February has been celebrated as American Heart Health Month to urge Americans to join the battle against heart disease.  Since 2004, February has also been recognized for the Go Red for Women campaign, sponsored by the American Heart Association, to raise awareness about Women’s Heart Health.  Although heart disease death rates among men have declined steadily over the last 25+ years, sadly rates among women have fallen at a slower rate.  February 4, 2022, has been designated as National Wear Red Day, at which time individuals are encouraged to Wear Red to inspire women to take charge of their heart health. We encourage you to share your photos of support on the Township of Nutley Health Department Facebook page and/or the nutley_dpa Instagram page.

In recognition of National Wear Red Day, on Friday, February 4, 2022, all municipal buildings will be illuminated in RED, under the direction of Mayor Mauro Tucci and the Nutley Department of Parks and Public Property.

Save the Date!  February 26th at 9:00am, the Nutley Health Department will sponsor a Heart Health Walk at DeMuro Park. Details to Follow!
