With heart failure impacting 330K Ontarians, expanding access to key cardiovascular tests is a critical step forward. We applaud @SylviaJonesMPP and Ontario for improving access to earlier diagnosis and care across the province.

It was a pleasure to welcome Heart & Stroke to Queen's Park.
Our government is proud to be supporting the province's first AED registry - making it faster and easier to access lifesaving defibrillators - while investing in post-stroke rehabilitation closer to home.
We’re at Queen’s Park today sharing how to better protect Ontarians during heart and brain medical emergencies.
Thank you to @fordnation and @SylviaJonesMPP for discussing how to create heart-safe schools and FAST action on stroke.

Alarmingly, 🇨🇦 has one of the highest vaping rates in the industrialized world.
While Ontario led the way with mandatory learning on vaping & doubled the Vape Tax, it's clear we must do more.
We appreciate the advice from @HeartandStroke as we work to change behaviour in schools & sharply reduce consumption rates.
A great meeting today with the folks at @HeartandStroke at Queen’s Park!
Thank you for taking the time to discuss important advocacy regarding addressing heart disease, awareness of heart health, stories from survivors, and so much more. #onpoli
As a survivor of heart disease 💔 it was a pleasure to meet with representatives from @HeartandStroke to discuss opportunities to improve access to heart failure testing and create a more equitable healthcare system in #Ontario.
.@HeartandStroke strongly supports the Government of Ontario’s intention to implement a vape tax.
We applaud @PBethlenfalvy and @SylviaJonesMPP for their leadership and commitment to protect the health of young people in the province.

More people are surviving stroke because of increased public awareness, better treatment and coordinated systems of care. But four in 10 Canadians do not know any of the FAST signs of stroke. Help us share this life-saving message, this #StrokeMonth: https://t.co/FD1tBNFc2l.
It was such a pleasure to represent @heartandstroke at the Ontario Bike Summit and present on the panel on how to be an effective advocate. #OBS2023@STRCycling @EMcMahon_TCT
Myself and fellow members of the Alliance for a Tobacco-Free Ontario, at a press conference today in support of MPP Gélinas' @NickelBelt bill "Vaping is Not for Kids". The bill includes a number of measures to reduce access and the attractiveness of e-cigarettes to Ontario youth.
It was a pleasure joining Heart & Stroke for their reception at Queen's Park this week.
Whether it's solutions for heart failure or equity in women's health, Heart & Stroke continue to be a strong advocate for Ontarians facing heart disease or stroke.
A pleasure to be back at #QueensPark for #HeartAtThePark earlier this week to discuss ways we can work together to reduce the burden of heart disease and stroke across communities. Many thanks to all Ministers, MPPs and staff who met with us and attended our reception! #ONpoli
We are extremely grateful to have had our dedicated and passionate volunteers join us at #QueensPark for #HeartAtThePark advocacy day earlier this week. Many thanks to our volunteers with lived experience, Young Leaders, and Board Members! #ONpoli
I had the honour of speaking at @HeartandStroke's #HeartAtThePark event where we discussed the importance of their FAST campaign. Recognizing the signs of stroke and calling 911 for an ambulance are key to improving chances of survival and recovery. Act FAST.
Thanks to @HeartandStroke for an informative meeting and reception today at Queen’s Park, as we continue to celebrate Heart Month. Looking forward to Heart Valve Disease Awareness Day tomorrow. #HeartAtThePark ♥️
