The 2000 Hearts Campaign

Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link

People in the New England region are dying from cardiovascular disease younger than people from other parts of Australia.

We need to fix this.

This 12 month campaign aims to ensure your patients have the best chance of avoiding death from cardiovascular disease.

You're invited to participate as a foundation member of this new campaign to ensure that your patients have the best chance of avoiding premature illness from cardiovascular disease. Our general practices will collaborate to ensure that we implement what we know is best practice to benefit our patient’s health, while making it easier to provide the excellent care to which we aspire, and improving practice sustainability.
