HEART for Women Act

Fitting, perhaps, to tell you about this for Valentine's Day! Several health care organizations have endorsed this legislative bill which is designed to make women's heart health a national priority:

"We know that heart disease affects women and men differently, but research has yet to deliver optimal screenings and treatments for women," said Phyllis Greenberger, M.S.W., President and CEO, Society for Women's Health Research. "Understanding of the issue, even among doctors, is still not where it should be. As the president's budget for health and research declines, we need Congress to take action."

Endorsing organizations include the American Heart Association, Association of Black Cardiologists, Inc., and the Society for Women's Health Research. Click here to read the article.
