Mission Statement:
The Women's Cardiovascular Health Working Group is dedicated to advancing the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cardiovascular disease in women through research, education, and advocacy. We strive to address gender-specific disparities, raise awareness of women’s unique heart health needs, and empower individuals and communities with the knowledge and resources to promote lifelong cardiovascular wellness.
Vision Statement:
We envision a world where every woman enjoys optimal cardiovascular health, free from preventable disease and disparities. Through innovation, collaboration, and unwavering commitment, we aim to transform the understanding and care of women’s heart health, ensuring equitable outcomes and a future where cardiovascular disease no longer disproportionately impacts women.
