Women’s Hearts Matter: Fighting for Equity in Heart Health

Heart disease is the number one killer of women, yet many women are unaware of their risk or may be dismissed by health care providers when they complain about their symptoms. Perhaps, not surprisingly, outcomes for women are worse than those for men. Celina Gorre is CEO of WomenHeart, a non-profit organization whose mission is to improve the lives of women with or at risk for heart disease while fighting for equity in heart health. In this podcast episode, we talk about the many ways WomenHeart brings awareness of this critical issue to women, lawmakers and the public, by women who have experienced their own heart health challenges. Tune in to learn what we all can do to help women everywhere get the care they deserve.
