Our story…

Heart disease is a main cause of death in Canadian women. 1 in 4 women die of heart disease in Canada each year. More women die from heart disease than breast, cervical and ovarian cancer combined. Most women are not aware of their risk of heart disease. 38% of women compared to 25% of men will die within 1 year after a heart attack. More women die of stroke than men. 80% of premature heart disease is preventable. The WHHI’s focus is on preventative care precisely because this disease does not need to be as deadly as it is.This is an innovative model of care where nurses and doctors work together to provide women with the individualized care they need. The WHHI’s mission is to increase awareness, prevent and treat heart disease, the most common cause of death in women. Please support us in caring for the hearts of our women.
