Her Heart Matters: Start the Conversation
The Canadian Women's Heart Health Centre (CWHHC) wants to ensure every woman - and those with women in their lives - becomes educated about heart disease and how to take heart-protective action to minimize their risks. The presentation covers:
•    What heart disease is;
•    How heart disease is different in women, including signs and symptoms;
•    Risks for heart disease;
•    How you can take heart health action;
•    Tips for talking with your health care providers

3:00 p.m. – Women & Chest Pain: Overcoming Barriers to Timely Care 
Many women experience heart attack symptoms differently than men and often delay seeking medical attention. Whether due to self-assessment, healthcare system challenges, or feelings of embarrassment, these delays can have serious consequences.

Join us for a vital discussion on: ✔️ How women’s symptoms differ ✔️ Why women hesitate to seek care ✔️ Ways to improve communication with healthcare providers ✔️ Strategies to enhance emergency care for women
