WomenHeart is a nonprofit organization that was founded in 1999 by three heart attack survivors who transformed the isolation, confusion and ignorance they experienced about women’s heart disease into a mission to save women’s lives. The organization has grown into a coalition and community of more than 27,000 members nationwide, including heart patients and their families, physicians, health advocates, and consumers committed to helping women live longer, healthier lives. These survivors attend the organization’s Leadership Symposium, held at the Mayo Clinic, to obtain leadership and advocacy training. They go on to volunteer as WomenHeart support group leaders, community educators, and media spokeswomen around the U.S. WomenHeart empowers women living with heart disease to manage their own heart health and to spread that message to others. The organization also educates policymakers, health professionals and the public about the urgent need to make women’s heart health a priority.

Sometimes, a simple gesture can remind someone that they're part of a community that cares. ❤️

WomenHeart's Heart Scarves program is one way our community shares encouragement and connection with women living with heart disease.

Each scarf represents something meaningful: the compassion, understanding, and solidarity that women can offer one another throughout their heart health journeys.

As we celebrate the work of WomenHeart Champions and volunteers, we recognize the many ways they help women feel supported, whether through a conversation, a shared experience, or a thoughtful gesture.

It's Friday, and we're celebrating WomenHeart Champion Dawn Blatt! ❤️

Dawn recently attended Stony Brook University's Healthier U Benefits and Wellness Fair, where she spoke with women about WomenHeart, heart disease, and wellness. During the event, 145 Red Bags of Courage were distributed, helping connect attendees with heart health information and resources.

Dawn also met in person with newly trained WomenHeart Champion Maria Gillen. They shared their heart stories, discussed plans for future WomenHeart activities, and celebrated their connection with a Heart Scarf.

From community education to welcoming fellow Champions, Dawn is helping strengthen the WomenHeart community in meaningful ways.

Thank you, Dawn, for your dedication to women's heart health! ❤️

Heart health is shaped by more than what happens in the exam room.

Language, culture, access to care, representation, and trust can all influence how women understand their health and navigate the healthcare system.

As Hispanic Heritage Month comes to a close, we celebrate Hispanic and Latino women, advocates, healthcare professionals, and community leaders who help strengthen women’s health in their families and communities.

We also recommit to a future where every woman has access to heart health information, support, and care that respects her experiences and needs.

WomenHeart is making headlines in Rochester! ❤️

Our 25th Science & Leadership Symposium at Mayo Clinic received local coverage from ABC 6 News (KAAL) and KTTC News, highlighting women turning their heart disease experiences into education, support, and advocacy.

Through the Symposium, women living with heart disease gain the knowledge, skills, and connections to become WomenHeart Champions and make a difference in their communities.

ABC 6 News spoke with Dr. Sharonne Hayes and WomenHeart Champion Dr. Jerian Dixon-Evans, who shared how becoming involved with WomenHeart helped her regain her voice after experiencing a heart attack.

KTTC also spotlighted the Symposium, featuring Dr. Hayes and Champions Gwen Mayes and Danielle Poole.

We're grateful to both stations for helping share these stories and amplify the voices of women advocating for better heart care.
