This Heart Month, the Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention (DHDSP) is encouraging women to listen to their hearts and speak up for their health. Women in the United States are experiencing unacceptable and avoidable heart-related illness and death, and nearly half of U.S. women do not recognize that heart disease is the leading cause of death for women. DHDSP aims to shed light on this important topic so that women no longer experience delayed recognition, diagnosis, and treatment for cardiac events, such as heart attacks. Heart-health disparities specific to women widen and deepen when combined with race, ethnicity, and other social factors. We encourage individuals, health care and public health professionals, and our partners to help close the disparities gap.

The Michigan WISEWOMAN program has three main focus areas: * Identify and communicate risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), stroke, diabetes, and other chronic disease. * Encourage healthy lifestyle choices. * Address Health Equity and Social Justice in the community. Who is eligible for the WISEWOMAN Program? Those who are eligible for the WISEWOMAN program include women, transgender, or gender nonconforming individuals (taken from CDC guidance) who are: * uninsured or underinsured * at or below 250% of the federal poverty guidelines * 35 to 64 years of age Eligible clients who will benefit from this program include those who are at increased risk of heart disease and need preventive health screenings as part of their wellness routine.
