Hypertension Canada eINFO - May 2015

 

Throughout the month of May, Hypertension Canada will be raising public awareness about the importance of hypertension. We hope you will join us: there are a number of exciting opportunities to have a positive influence in Canada and around the world! 
In this issue, we've also got free access to an impactful journal for eINFO subscribers and the announcement of new trainee travel awards.




Hypertension is currently the leading cause of death and disability around the world. Hypertension Canada annually promotes World Hypertension Day (WHD) to raise awareness of this issue and drive toward better hypertension prevention and control. 

Health care providers and their patients are encouraged to visit  hypertension.ca/whd2015 to tap into targeted resources and 
be a part of our Canadian success story.
