With more than 48 million women living with or at risk of heart disease, it is imperative that WomenHeart continues to offer our programs and services to the communities in which our newly trained and returning WomenHeart Champions live and serve. This means continuing the important work of training a new class at the annual Science and Leadership Symposium. 

While we are disappointed we won't be able to meet our new class of Champions in-person this year, we are excited to offer the robust training and curricula that is expected each year in a virtual setting using an interactive learning management system.
 
This is just one of the ways WomenHeart has been able to turn our signature in-person programming into virtual programming this year. We have utilized technology to amplify our impact and continue to reach millions of women living with or at risk of heart disease. For example: 

• We are set to launch a new SisterMatch App, a mobile application that will allow women heart patients to connect one-on-one with  for support, find virtual and in-person meetings in their area, and tap into patient education, resources and news. 

• WomenHeart Virtual Support Networks and HeartSisters Online provide peer-to-peer support for women living with heart disease in a safe online group setting.
