As the world continues to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve never been more aware of the importance of our and our loved one’s health and well-being. This year, World Heart Day on Sept. 29 is more crucial than ever. It’s a chance for us all to connect with our own hearts and make sure we’re fueling and nurturing them as best we can; and to connect every heart, shining a spotlight on the power of digital health to put us all at the heart of our own health and care.

Connect with every ♥
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to find alternative ways to connect people to heart health, particularly in lower-resource areas and communities. Disconnected hearts are at a greater risk of heart disease and stroke due to lack of access to cardiovascular disease prevention, treatment and control – yet half the world’s population doesn’t have access to internet connectivity. As caregivers, we can enable and empower everyone, everywhere, to use digital tools for better prevention, diagnosis and care of heart-related conditions.
Use ♥ in your actions
In honor of World Heart Day, use heart in all your actions. Together, we can build connections with those impacted by cardiovascular disease and inspire heart-healthy living.
