Heart Failure Awareness Week | May 3-9, 2026

Heart Failure Awareness Doesn’t Stop with Heart Failure Awareness Week—It’s an Ongoing Effort!

Heart failure (HF) is now one of the fastest growing cardiovascular conditions in the world. In Canada, it’s estimated that more than 100,000 Canadians will be diagnosed this year alone, adding to the 850,000 people already living with HF.

The goal of Heart Failure Awareness Week is to raise awareness, increase public knowledge and provide a better understanding about this chronic condition.

CHFS is proud to collaborate with the following organizations in providing tools and helpful resources for the general public, for healthcare providers and for people living with heart failure:

Partners

Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS)
Canadian Council of Cardiovascular Nurses (CCCN)
Canadian Association of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation (CACPR)
Canadian Heart Function (CHF) Alliance
Heart & Stroke
HeartLife Foundation
Ted Rogers Centre for Heart Research

PLEASE JOIN US IN RAISING AWARENESS!

Tools and Resources

Our updated 2026 tools and resources for the general public, healthcare providers and patients are now available for download!

You can now also download/print materials that DO NOT include the HF Awareness Week date, so that they can be used throughout the year, beyond the May 3-9, 2026 HF Awareness Week. There are also two different versions of the poster now available - one featuring a male (A) and one a female (B).

Thank you for helping promoting heart failure awareness!
