Wendy Wray, Nurse Director - Womens Healthy Heart Initiative, MUHC
The Women’s Healthy Heart Initiative (WHHI) heart disease prevention clinic is part of the MUHC Women’s Health Initiative. The goal of this project is to increase the awareness of women’s risk of heart disease and it is sponsored by Novartis, The RVH Foundation and private donations. This Nurse-led clinic is for women 45-65 years of age, and the preventive care focuses managing on known heart disease risks such as elevated cholesterol and blood pressure, healthy nutrition, physical activity and smoking cessation. This presentation was given on the 20th of May, 2010, at the Cardiology Grand Rounds honouring the WHHI on its first year anniversary.
