Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling has received a major award from the American College of Cardiology (ACC) for his work to promote cardiovascular awareness through his Lieutenant Governor's Challenge: Your Heart Is In Your Hands initiative. Bolling was given the award at a Thursday dinner at the National Lieutenant Governors Association (NLGA) Winter Meeting in Washington, DC.

"I am honored to receive this recognition from the American College of Cardiology," Lieutenant Governor Bolling said. "Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of men and women in America. However, by taking simple steps to increase physical activity and eat better, you can improve your heart health and significantly decrease risks of heart disease. I am extremely pleased that thousands of Virginians are participating in the Lieutenant Governor's Challenge and taking ownership of their personal heart health."
