ROCHESTER, N.Y., Jan. 31, 2018 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- The Rochester-based creators of the RCare wireless nurse call and advanced monitoring system announced today a monetary donation to the American Heart Association this month in commemoration of February being "National Heart Month". The American Heart Association is the nation's oldest and largest voluntary organization dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke.

The American Heart Association(AHA) has been saving lives since 1924. They are the leading source of CPR training in the nation, they educate health professionals on science-based treatment guidelines, and they advocate for public policies that improve the nation's health.
"Heart disease and stroke remain the number 1 and number 3 causes of death in our community. That is why it's so important Rochesterians unite during Heart Month and become part of the American Heart Association's movement to live longer, healthier lives," said Jason Stulb, Senior Director of Development for the American Heart Association. "We are very excited to have RCare helping us lead the way this year. It's a huge step toward a heart healthy Rochester, and the funds they raise truly help our community".

In honor of American Heart Month, RCare is delighted to promise 5% of all February profits up to $25,000 to the American Heart Association.
