The Women's Heart Foundation is a 501c3 dedicated to prevention, survival and quality of life. WHF accomplishes its mission through education and advocacy. We support prevention projects and promote The Gender Care Initiative® to achieve excellence of care of women. Executive nurses, civic leaders, women survivors and sponsors can respond with one voice to the health crisis of women's heart disease. Funding is through Memorials and Tributes and community-sponsored events.
