cardiovascular health, encouraging people to be active, and reminding families that wellness can also be fun,” Dr. Misi said.
“Cimas iGo is all about preventive health better nutrition, active living, and long-term wellness. We encourage people to reach out to us for guidance on how to sustain these habits beyond today.”
