Becoming leaders in women’s heart health research.
In Alberta alone, around 300 women per year are discharged from emergency rooms with chest pain, only to suffer a heart attack within 30 days.
Women’s heart health has historically been under-researched, leading to a lack of gender-specific data. When suffering from heart disease, women often show symptoms and effects differently than men, and these differences are often missed or misunderstood. This disparity between men and women highlights the need for updated research, allowing for proper understanding of the unique challenges and needs women face when dealing with cardiovascular diseases.

By making a contribution, you are investing in a future where women's heart health is researched thoroughly and treated effectively. Your donation will help save lives and transform the landscape of healthcare for women across Alberta and beyond.
Your support is more than just a donation; it is a commitment to a future where women’s heart health is understood. Together, we can close the gaps in research, enhance clinical practices, and ensure that every woman receives the care she deserves.
