📢 Calling heart function and in the Greater Toronto Area!

TRANSFORM HF and The Heart Hub are working to build and sustain a community of local people with lived experience who are “research ready”! Foundations, their free workshop series, is designed to train and empower patients, caregivers, and family members to engage in cardiovascular research.

Key dates:
🗓️ Session 1: March 19 (online) 12PM-1:30PM EST
🗓️ Session 2: April 9 (in-person) 9AM-1PM EST

At the end of the course, graduates will be able to:
✔️ Identify as knowledgeable people with lived experience ready to co-create with researchers
✔️ Understand the role of patient partners in health research and assess its challenges and opportunities
✔️ Access and use patient-oriented research resources to be meaningfully engaged at every stage of the research journey

⭐ Interested? We are accepting applications until March 1, 2026.

Please note: Due to the hands-on nature of the course, space is limited. Twelve participants will be selected based upon their responses to an application form, with a focus on ensuring a diversity of representation, experience, and perspectives.

Don't forget to wear red for tomorrow, February 13!

In addition to celebrating Valentine's (and Galentine's!) Day, tomorrow is also about raising awareness for Women's Heart Health!

Heart disease is the leading cause of premature death for women in Canada, yet women are more likely to have their symptoms missed or dismissed. Let's help bring awareness to the importance of prevention and early diagnosis for all women ❤️
