The article features the Women's Healthy Heart Clinic, a component of the Women's Healthy Heart Initiative (WHHI) at the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) in Montreal, Quebec. The clinic was founded by nurses with the aim of improving access to primary prevention services. It notes that the lack of awareness on the role of heart diseases in mortality among Canadian women explains why most women are not well-informed about the health risk. The steps taken in establishing the clinic are cited, first of which is the development of a project proposal.
