Calling all patients and caregivers navigating life with Heart Failure!

Heart failure is one of the leading causes of hospitalization in Canada, but the real experiences of patients and caregivers are still not fully understood.

HeartLife Foundation and UBC are inviting patients and caregivers across Canada to complete a short, anonymous survey about life with heart failure. The survey takes about 10 to 15 minutes, and your input will help inform future education, advocacy, research, and care.

If you are 19 years of age or older, live in Canada, and have lived experience with heart failure as a patient or caregiver, we want to hear from you.

Please visit the survey link to participate:

That's a wrap on Heart Failure Awareness Week 2026, and what a week it was!

Thank you to everyone who engaged with our content, shared posts, shone a light on heart failure with us, and helped amplify this year's message: it is not normal to be breathless. Always get it checked.

We're grateful to the Canadian Heart Failure Society, our campaign partners, and our incredible community for making this year's HFAW such a success. Awareness is the first step toward earlier recognition, better outcomes, and more lives saved.
