Heart health begins at home and in the everyday care of the family doctor. Our care activities are designed to empower women to manage their own health with confidence, while also supporting their primary care providers with information and training. The Canadian Women’s Heart Health Centre is working to improve care both locally and nationally by developing personalized, one-on-one programs as well as digital educational tools.
