The leading voice for the 48 million American women living with or at risk of heart disease
Updated Red WomenHeart Banner
 
Dear John,
 
WomenHeart has always been committed to advocating for public policies that support women living with and at risk of heart disease, and 2020 was no different. Faced with a global pandemic - and the need for swift action to ensure that women with heart disease and others most at risk from COVID-19 have critical resources and protections - WomenHeart engaged with lawmakers to raise patients' voices. In addition, we were thrilled to launch Advocacy Corps, a new effort for WomenHeart Champions to become skilled patient advocates who influence public policy to support women living with and at risk of heart disease.
 
By lifting up women's stories and taking action, we are having an impact. We saw two bills that we supported become law - to improve access to clinical trials and to help curb surprise medical bills for patients; and two others were passed in the House of Representatives - to raise awareness of the high rates of heart disease among South Asian Americans and to expand access to Medicaid to women postpartum. Together we are working to ensure access to health care, to fight inequity and discrimination against women in healthcare settings, and to empower WomenHeart Champions to ensure that the patient voice is center in the minds of those crafting health policy.
 
This year, WomenHeart has:
Policy 2020
