 How We Fight Event
WomenHeart hosted the How We Fight: Empowering Women with Heart Failure event in New York City on Wednesday, September 25th to convene leading cardiologists, WomenHeart Champions featured in the video campaign, and leading online female health, wellness and caregiving influencers.
How We Fight, sponsored by Novartis, is a campaign to answer the most-asked questions about heart failure and offer inspiration to others. With How We Fight, WomenHeart hopes to inspire, empower and activate women to advocate for themselves and take action to manage their heart failure.
Since June we have released seven videos featuring Myra, Kim, Susan, Shannon, Lori Ann, Lisa and Joy. To see all videos in the campaign go to www.womenheart.org/howwefight. You can also check out a compilation video that provides a sneak peek of the videos in the campaign on Facebook.
