Cardiovascular disease is one of the most significant public health issues in the world. Our commitment to cardiovascular disease remains steadfast, and supporting cross-sector collaborative programs and patient-advocacy initiatives is part of this commitment. A key focus of this work is moving from a reactive healthcare model toward a proactive and innovative public health approach aimed to predict and prevent the impact of serious diseases from occurring. Together, we are employing and testing not just one approach but a range of innovative initiatives to help improve patient outcomes and address population health.
