The Canadian Heart Failure Society (CHFS), together with our committee of cardiovascular professionals and partner organizations, is pleased to announce the 4th annual National Heart Failure Awareness Week campaign scheduled for May 2-8, 2022.
The goal of Heart Failure Awareness Week (HFAW) is to raise awareness, increase public knowledge and provide a better understanding about this chronic condition.
Heart failure is on the rise in Canada and throughout the world and it is now more important than ever for health care providers to get engaged in raising awareness among patients and their families. With this in mind, our 2022 campaign will focus on the theme Time to take action on heart failure.
