About The University of Ottawa

Women are under-diagnosed, under-treated and under-studied when it comes to cardiovascular disease. As a result, heart disease is the number one killer of Canadian women, accounting for more deaths each year than all cancers combined. The Canadian Women’s Heart Health Centre is dedicated to sparking the social change needed to close the gaps and ensure women are as well-informed and well-cared for as men. The CWHHC is drawing on the expertise of our world-renowned parent organization, the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, to build programs that will improve care, raise awareness of heart disease in women and deepen knowledge through research specifically targeted to women. The CWHHC is the powering body of the Canadian Women's Heart Health Alliance (CWHHA.ca), a network of experts and advocates from across Canada with the goal of improving women’s cardiovascular health across the life span.
