Heart Failure Awareness Week February 12-18

February 12-18, 2023 is National Heart Failure Awareness Week! Join The Mended Hearts, Inc. and the Heart Failure Society of America HFSA as we promote heart failure awareness, patient education, and heart failure prevention. This year's theme of Heart Success: Function Not Failure will shed light on all that can be done to treat heart failure (HF) based on how a patient’s heart is functioning.  

Here are six ways you can support the campaign:  

1. Learn more about heart failure by browsing our library of resources including discussion guides, a GoToGuide, webinars and personal stories. For more information, go to https://mendedhearts.org/heart-failure/
2. Follow HFSA on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter and keep watching for #HFWeek2023, #MyHFStory2023, and #FunctionNotFailure posts!
3. Tune in to a Live Twitter Chat with experts on Wednesday, February 15 at 12:00 PM ET. Join MHI, HFSA and other heart failure-focused organizations on Twitter for a lively discussion on heart failure. Follow #HFChat2023 to follow the conversation.
4. Tune in to Instagram for a Live Discussion with a patient advocate and a heart failure physician (and tell your friends!) on Tuesday, February 14 at 12:00 PM ET!
5. Listen to a NEW episode of the Heart Failure Beat Healthy Living podcast, set to be released on Thursday, February 16. The episode will feature a discussion on what's new in heart failure care. You won't want to miss this important update!
