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.

Do you know what your heart health numbers mean?

Blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar can provide important information about cardiovascular health. Understanding these measurements can help you have more informed conversations with your healthcare team.

A few things to remember:

❤️ A single number doesn't tell the whole story.
❤️ Your health history and other risk factors matter.
❤️ Your healthcare team can help explain what your results mean for you.
❤️ Knowing your numbers is most useful when you also understand what to do with that information.

You don't have to interpret every result on your own.

At your next appointment, consider asking: "What do these numbers mean for my heart health, and what should we be monitoring?"

Advancing women's heart health takes all of us. ❤️

At the 2027 WomenHeart Summit, we're bringing together patient advocates, healthcare leaders, partners, and supporters to elevate women's voices and help drive meaningful change in cardiovascular care.

From the Heart Health IS Women's Health Forum, presented in partnership with HealthyWomen, to the Wenger Awards Celebration, we're creating space for important conversations, connections, and recognition.

We can't wait to share more about what's ahead!

A heart disease diagnosis can bring a lot of questions about what comes next.

WomenHeart's Red Bags of Courage are one way we help women feel connected to information, resources, and a community that understands. ❤️

The program reflects an important part of WomenHeart's mission: women living with heart disease deserve education, support, and opportunities to connect with others who share similar experiences.

A diagnosis may be part of a woman's story, but she should not have to navigate that story without support.

Supporting women's heart health isn't limited to one month, one campaign, or one awareness day. ❤️

Every day, women across the country are navigating heart disease, seeking reliable information, connecting with others who understand, and advocating for the care they deserve.

WomenHeart works year-round to provide education, support, and advocacy for women living with and at risk of heart disease.

When you become a monthly donor, you provide ongoing support for that mission. Your recurring gift helps WomenHeart plan for the future and continue working toward a world where every woman has access to the information, community, and care she needs.

Make women's heart health part of your monthly giving. ❤️

We love seeing the next generation use their talents to advance women’s health! ❤️

This animation highlighting WomenHeart’s newly redesigned SisterMatch app was created by Lexi, a WomenHeart volunteer and high school student with an interest in women’s health, public health, and health equity.

Lexi combines her love of animation with her curiosity about health to make important information more engaging and accessible. Through this project, she wanted to highlight the importance of community and connection for women living with heart disease.

That mission is at the heart of SisterMatch. The app helps women living with heart disease connect one-on-one with WomenHeart Champion volunteers who understand many of the experiences that can come with a heart disease journey.

Thank you, Lexi, for sharing your creativity and your commitment to women’s health with the WomenHeart community!

We're celebrating WomenHeart Champion Jess Weimer! ❤️

Jess recently hosted a heart health advocacy table at a wellness event with Soul Medicine Mobile, connecting with approximately 50 attendees to share resources, raise awareness, and spark conversations about women's heart health.

Jess is using her own heart health journey to help educate and advocate for other women, bringing lived experience into community conversations about cardiovascular health.

Every conversation is an opportunity to help someone learn more about their heart health and the resources available to them.

Thank you, Jess, for turning your experience into advocacy and helping bring WomenHeart's mission into your community!

Racial and gender disparities impact how women are diagnosed and treated for heart disease.

It is time to change that.

You deserve to understand the information that shapes your healthcare.

During Health Literacy Month, we're reminding you that asking questions is an important part of making decisions about your health.

Whether you're reviewing test results, learning about a diagnosis, or discussing treatment options, you should have the opportunity to understand what your healthcare team is recommending and why.

Here are five questions you may want to bring to your next appointment.

Clear communication is a shared responsibility. Healthcare professionals should explain things clearly and make room for questions.

Save this post for your next appointment or share it with someone who may find it useful.

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.
