National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease

WomenHeart is the only national organization dedicated to promoting women’s heart health through advocacy, education and patient support. As the leading voice for the 41 million American women living with or at risk of heart disease, WomenHeart advocates for equal access to quality care and provides information and resources to help women take charge of their heart health. Since our inception, WomenHeart—founded by three women heart attack survivors who transformed the isolation, confusion and ignorance about women’s heart disease into a rallying call to save women’s lives—has been at the forefront of providing support services to women with heart disease and educating policymakers, health professionals and the public about the urgent need to make women’s heart health a priority. Founded in 1999, WomenHeart’s mission is to improve the health and quality of life of women living with or at risk of heart disease. Through our programs and services, WomenHeart raises awareness about the importance of prevention and early detection, accurate diagnosis and proper treatment of women’s heart disease.
