Take Action to Support Heart Health After Pregnancy
Legislation is moving in Congress that would expand access to health
coverage for women after pregnancy - a time when many are at
risk for life-threatening heart conditions. The Helping MOMS Act (H.R.
4996) provides for a state option under Medicaid to extend coverage
for women postpartum for up to twelve months. Tell Congress to pass
this legislation now!

November is National Family Caregivers Month
Women living with heart disease often receive care from a family
caregiver when they are recovering from surgery, receiving treatment
after a diagnosis, dealing with chronic needs or aging. At the same
time, many women living with heart disease serve as family caregivers
for others in their lives with acute or long-term care needs. Read
more about the impact of caregiving on heart health.
