The Pharr City Commission approved a proclamation recognizing February 2026 as American Heart Month, raising awareness that cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States. The observance encourages residents to learn their key health numbers, adopt heart-healthy lifestyles, and support prevention and early detection efforts. The proclamation was accepted by Mario Lizcano, Administrator of Corporate Affairs at DHR Health, alongside Jo Anna Garza, Business Development Manager, and Dr. Herschl Silberman, MD, Cardiologist with the DHR Health Heart Institute. 'We are thankful to have your support and partnership as we continue to provide the community with awareness and education about the importance of good health,' said Lizcano. Adding to the importance of monitoring oneself, Dr. Silberman urged the community to remain educated, proactive, and strong advocates for heart health and support.
