The WomenHeart Forum is more than just an event—it is a celebration of the power of advocacy, leadership, and collaboration in the fight for women’s heart health. Last week, we had the honor of witnessing some of the most inspiring moments in the world of cardiovascular care, as the WomenHeart community gathered in Washington, D.C. to share stories, spark ideas, and strengthen our collective efforts.
Highlights from the Wenger Awards:
The Wenger Awards Celebration was a powerful reminder of the incredible impact that advocacy can have on women’s heart health. This annual event honors outstanding leaders in healthcare, research, and advocacy, all of whom are committed to improving outcomes for women with cardiovascular disease.
Each awardee shared a unique story of dedication, innovation, and resilience—stories that not only inspire but also fuel the movement for change. From groundbreaking research to tireless advocacy in underserved communities, the Wenger Awards shine a light on the heroes who are working to reshape the landscape of women’s heart health.
Heart Health IS Women’s Health Summit:
The Heart Health IS Women’s Health Summit brought together thought leaders, advocates, and healthcare professionals for a day of insightful discussions, powerful presentations, and shared strategies for improving heart health in women. This summit focused on the urgent need for policy changes, better healthcare access, and education on the unique needs of women with heart disease.
Panel discussions and expert speakers explored how we can work together to reduce disparities in cardiovascular care, elevate awareness about women’s heart health, and ensure that every woman receives the care she deserves.
Why Advocacy Matters in Women’s Heart Health
Advocacy plays a vital role in the fight against cardiovascular disease, which remains the leading cause of death among women. By raising awareness, pushing for policy change, and amplifying the voices of those affected by heart disease, we can help ensure that heart health remains a priority in both healthcare and public policy.
The WomenHeart Forum underscored the importance of collective action and the need for a unified approach to advancing women’s heart health. By standing together, we are making a significant difference, one step at a time.
