Research has clearly shown that lowering cholesterol can reduce the risk of developing heart disease. The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) has developed a National Cholesterol Education toolkit that makes it easy for Program Coordinators to access and disseminate the latest information on cholesterol.
September is an ideal time to implement this program, in conjunction with National Cholesterol Education Month. This program is updated annually. If there are any changes to the program, they will be available in September.
