Dear John,
Each year, WomenHeart brings together women living with heart disease to connect, learn, and train in their new roles as WomenHeart Champions at our Science & Leadership Symposium. The 2025 virtual symposium, taking place May 5–22, starts this weekend, offering participants an experience that blends science, advocacy, and sisterhood.
What the Symposium Is All About
The Science & Leadership Symposium is a first-of-its-kind program designed to empower women with heart disease to become community leaders and heart health advocates.
The symposium includes:
- Sessions with top cardiologists and health experts
- Deep dives into patient advocacy and health equity
-
Workshops to build leadership and storytelling skills
- A chance to connect with a national community of women who understand life with heart disease
Participants who complete the program become part of our WomenHeart Champion community—volunteer leaders working to educate and support others.
A Glimpse at What Comes Next
This October, WomenHeart will host an in-person symposium at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. This program offers a live, immersive experience—one that often sparks lifelong friendships and a renewed sense of purpose.
How to Stay Connected
While the virtual symposium is already underway, there are still meaningful ways to follow along:
- Watch our social media for updates, stories, and behind-the-scenes moments
-
Learn about the WomenHeart Champion program and what it means to lead with heart
- Explore our advocacy and education resources to deepen your understanding of women’s heart health
The women participating this year are not just gaining knowledge—they are stepping into their power. We are proud to support them, and grateful to all who make this work possible.
Even if the Science & Leadership Symposium is not for you, you can still make a difference by spreading the word on women’s heart health, or by making a donation to support the work of our Champions. Thank you for being part of the WomenHeart community.
