How NHA Membership Benefits Your Hospital and Community
By joining the WomenHeart National Hospital Alliance, your hospital:
- positions itself as a leader in women’s heart health
- reinforces its commitment to women’s heart health and the health of your community
- supports the interests of your cardiovascular medical team
- establishes a peer-led WomenHeart Support Network for women with heart disease which is led by a woman heart patient trained at the WomenHeart Science & Leadership Symposium at Mayo Clinic or Washington, DC, providing post-discharge support and secondary prevention for your female heart patients
By having a WomenHeart Support Network, your hospital will:
- have an effective communications channel to provide post-discharge education and emotional and psychosocial support to help ensure patient compliance and adherence to post-discharge care
- increase patient satisfaction
- demonstrate community benefit as required by the Affordable Care Act (ACA)
And, your hospital
