Heart Health Education Program

Provided by Island Heart to Heart

A program designed to help individuals better manage their heart health.
Several times a year Island Heart to Heart presents a program of seven classes, providing you and your partner or friend with information on a variety of topics related to heart health. All classes are presented on Zoom.

During the seven classes, participants meet with others who have had similar experiences and have an opportunity to increase their understanding of what has happened to them and to develop coping strategies to sustain or improve their quality of life. They also have an opportunity to gain insights and support from peers. Health-care professionals are brought in as speakers to present material on how the heart works, heart-healthy nutrition, physical activity, cardiac medications, emergency situations, stress, and the psychosocial aspects of heart disease. Some topics discussed during the program include:
  • Your Heart and How It Works
  • Physical Activity
  • Medication
  • Psychosocial Aspects
  • Stress Management
  • Heart-Healthy Nutrition


The current fee for the 7-class program is $50. Fee can be waived based on need.

Registration required. Call or email to register. Although, the sessions are delivered through Zoom, they are only offered to Vancouver Island residents.
