Support Our Mission:
Take Action: Support Heart Valve Disease Legislation Women are more likely to be underdiagnosed and undertreated for heart valve disease. A new bill called the CAROL Act invests in the research and outreach needed to address gaps in what we know about valve disease and to raise awareness of the signs and risks. Ask your members of Congress to cosponsor the CAROL Act today.
HeartTalks Webinar on COVID-19 Vaccine WomenHeart will host a HeartTalks webinar on Wednesday, May 12 at 4:00pm ET with Dr. Karol Watson and WomenHeart Champions to discuss what women with heart disease need to know about the COVID-19 vaccine. Sign up for the link here.
Share Your Opinions! Take a Survey! Women with heart disease have a unique opportunity to share their experiences and opinions through surveys, which can influence future actions and organizational priorities. WomenHeart will be wrapping up its Advocacy Survey on May 5 – take the survey today! In addition, our partner Inspire is surveying tens of thousands of people about their vaccine experiences. We invite you to contribute to a broader understanding of vaccine perceptions, symptoms, and access among women with heart disease by taking the survey and then exploring the results on their interactive dashboard.
