This Year's Conference
More than 100,000 Canadians are diagnosed with heart failure each year and over 750,000 people are living with this complex condition.
In New Brunswick, heart failure ranks 3rd as one of the top reasons for hospital admission (after childbirth and COVID).
This significant public health concern not only has profound economic impacts, but challenges the delivery of optimal care, particularly in primary care settings.
The objective of this Heart Failure in Primary Care Symposium is to bring together healthcare professionals and policymakers from across the province to advance knowledge, enhance patient care, and promote system change that is vital for addressing the challenges posed by heart failure in our province.
