About WWWHHI

About the Program

We are the first Nurse-led clinic in Canada for the primary prevention of heart disease in women.

The Wendy Wray Women’s Healthy Heart Initiative (WWWHHI) at the MUHC is unique in its support of women’s health because it focuses on prevention – helping women before their first heart attack happens. The goal of the WWWHHI is to help women understand the factors that put them at risk for heart disease.
