National Heart Failure Awareness Week

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 800,000 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:
