DEATH LOVES
A HEALTH CRISIS.
Are you or your loved ones at risk?
Millions of Canadians are still at risk, and will be, for generations to come. More than 50,000 strokes, 70,000 heart attacks and up to 45,000 cardiac arrests occur every year
- The incidence of stroke is expected to double in the next 10 years
- Canadian children are the first generation poised for shorter lives than their parents
- $20.9 billion is spent annually on heart disease and stroke
OUR GOALS ARE CLEAR
Our short-term goal is to have Canadians take 1,000,000 actions by the end of February 2012 to Make Death Wait. These range from simple lifestyle changes like preparing a heart-healthy meal or going for a walk to quitting smoking.
Our long-term goal is reduce deaths due to heart disease and stroke by 25% by 2020. That represents almost 25,000 lives saved each and every year.
You can help us achieve these goals.
