Happy National Volunteer Appreciation Week!

The important work of promoting women's heart health could not happen without the incredible work of our nationwide network of over 600 trained volunteers. These tireless women hold support group meetings, provide additional personal support to Heart Sisters via phone and email, promote WomenHeart activities and initiatives through Facebook, Twitter, and other social media outlets, and talk with print, television, and radio reporters to help raise awareness about women's heart disease. For all you do, a huge THANK YOU from the staff here at WomenHeart!
