Canadian Women with Medical Heart Issues FB Support group started in 2017 to meet the need for casual support for women who were diagnosed with or at risk of heart disease or heart failure. We now have close to 1200 members.
Heart disease is the #1 killer of Canadian women. There is still lack of awareness, research and supports in the medical community and social community, so many women go under diagnosed, under treated and under educated. Many in our FB group are working to help create change and to provide community support for women. The funds raised through the calendar, mugs and other products go towards various initiatives taken on by our members - from group contests to starting in-person meet ups to registrations for conferences and webinars. We know we can and will change the stats when we work together. Heart Warrior Queen Strong!
I was diagnosied with Heart Disease in 2014 and have been living with Heart Failure since 2017 - my heart issues are a result of chemotherapy 20+ years before. I was motivated to start the FB group after I recognized I needed support and was unable to find adequate Canadian supports either in person or on-line. I continue to advocate to increase supports and knowledge for women everywhere in Canada. I hope you find the products inspiring, we have lots of work still left to do!
