Move with the Mayor® for Cholesterol
Through Move with the Mayor®, mayors across the country are helping residents understand the dangers of high LDL cholesterol and the power of prevention. By encouraging regular screenings and heart-healthy habits, they’re making heart disease awareness a community priority.
Mayors are making cholesterol a community-wide conversation.
Across the country, mayors use Move with the Mayor® to spark community-wide action — promoting cholesterol education, hosting screening events, and encouraging movement. They’re not just raising awareness. They’re helping residents take charge of their heart health one screening and conversation at a time.

Mayors lead the way to protect heart health
Mayors nationwide are taking bold action to protect their communities from one of the most preventable threats to heart health — high LDL cholesterol.
Often called “bad cholesterol,” high LDL-C can quietly damage your arteries without symptoms, increasing the risk of heart disease, heart attack, and stroke. Millions of Americans have it and don’t know it.
The good news: Knowing your LDL-C — and working with your healthcare provider to manage it — can help you stay healthy, active, and strong for years to come.
Through the Move with the Mayor® LDL Cholesterol Can’t Wait campaign, participating mayors are championing this lifesaving message, making it easier for residents to get screened and take action.
