Sharing on Connect continues during the Holidays
While words like happy, festive, joyful, etc are often used at this time of year, we also know it can bring many other emotions. Sharing and support continues on Connect throughout the holidays, and we continue to monitor and keep the conversations welcoming and safe.
We wish you a healthy and safe holiday season!

You'll find most discussions about statins in the Heart & Blood Health group. Here are a few you may wish to review and ask members their thoughts and experiences.
