Do everything we can to educate and alert women about their cardiovascular health at three key hormone stages: contraception, pregnancy and perimenopause. Boost active prevention efforts by giving all women access to cardiovascular screening and care in a comprehensive, multidisciplinary healthcare ecosystem. Train, educate and connect all healthcare professionals by giving them the tools they need to provide effective, transgenerational prevention methods. Promote and speed up medical research targeting the specifics of cardiovascular disease in women.
