YOUR IMPACT

Together, we are making significant strides in women's heart health. While we've achieved great progress, there's still much more to be done. Your generous contribution is the driving force behind both our new and ongoing initiatives in women's heart health education, training, research, advocacy, and outreach.  

Here is what we have accomplished together so far:

  • The Canadian Women's Heart Health Alliance "ATLAS": a growing collection of resources and the latest research to help healthcare professionals treat and care for women better. Policymakers now have the information they need to ensure equitable care for women with cardiovascular disease.

 

  • Over 220-person national working group that includes current cardiac patients is actively fixing gaps in women's heart and vascular health.

 

  • Educational materials distributed nationwide in 15+ languages, especially to traditionally underserved communities, such as Indigenous women and newcomers to Canada.

 

  • Network Forward: a research and training project to design a women's cardiovascular disease prevention network now exists across the country.
