How We Fight
With WomenHeart, No Woman Fights Heart Failure Alone
We can all be empowered to be
our own greatest advocates
Meet 20 WomenHeart Champions answering the most-asked
Heart Failure questions as they work to fight the stigma surrounding
Heart Failure. And hear in-depth stories from three of them about their lives with Heart Failure.
Women wear many hats – as mothers, grandmothers, wives,
aunts, daughters and caregivers – we tend to put others’ needs
above our own, and often dismiss our symptoms or blame
ourselves for our diagnosis. As women with Heart Failure, we
often face delays in getting diagnosed and seeking care. But
there is no shame in a Heart Failure diagnosis. And with
WomenHeart, no woman faces that diagnosis alone.
Watch the videos to hear from these inspiring women, and watch this Facebook Live to learn more about Living an Empowered Life with Heart Failure.
How We Fight has reached more than 8 million women and counting - thank you for watching!
