⭐Introducing: Heart Health Champions ⭐

Launched as part of our countdown to this year’s #WorldHeartDay, Heart Health Champions celebrates those making a meaningful difference to heart health through their platforms, expertise or everyday actions.

Our Champions represent the many ways people can help others put heart health front of mind - whether that’s sharing trusted information and raising awareness or inspiring healthier choices and helping others recognise the importance of looking after their hearts.

Through this initiative, we want to shine a light on the people who are starting conversations, sharing knowledge and inspiring action.

With this in mind, we are delighted to officially announce the first group of Champions:

❤️ @dr_moniadanijo
❤️ @vanessacutting
❤️ @rvt.md
❤️ @heart.health.nutritionist
❤️ @dra.jennswain

Each of these individuals has been recognised for the positive impact they are already making in helping people better understand their cardiovascular health, make informed choices and take steps to reduce their risk of CVD.

Join us in celebrating our first group - and stay tuned for more information on our Champions, as well as the reveal of the next group, very soon!
