According to a municipal news release:

“Millions of people in the United States have abnormal cholesterol levels. If you don’t have healthy, normal HDL and/or LDL cholesterol levels, the cholesterol can form a plaque in the walls of the arteries, which can increase your risk of a heart attack or stroke. The good news is that if your cholesterol levels are abnormal, lifestyle changes and prescribed medication can help improve them. Join us for this presentation to learn more about cholesterol levels and steps you can take to help manage your cholesterol.”
