Take action for healthier hearts!

Join us for a discussion on how women often experience chest pain differently and why they may delay seeking care—whether due to self-assessment, challenges within the healthcare system, or feelings of embarrassment. This presentation will focus on practical ways to support women in getting care sooner, improving communication and triage processes in emergency departments, and addressing the strain on our healthcare system to improve outcomes.

There will be a live question-and-answer session, allowing participants to ask the panellists questions directly.

Come together with us to take action for healthier hearts!
