HSYL Presents: Heart-to-Heart Networking Evening

This October, you're invited to join the Heart & Stroke Young Leaders in our efforts to the gap on women's cardiovascular healthcare. It will be an evening of networking and education from one of Toronto's leading mobile health researchers, as well as a few other special guests.

Gaps in research, diagnosis and care threaten women’s heart and brain health. 2/3 of all heart disease and stroke clinical research has focused on men. This has led to the primary causes of premature death in Canadian women being heart disease and stroke.

• Two hours of networking with other like-minded young professionals
• Food and drinks
• An opportunity to win countless door prizes

Time: 5:30 - 7:30 pm

Place: CIBC Square 49th Floor Live Event Space

The evening will kick off with a few words from the Heart & Stroke Young Leaders to celebrate our record-shattering fundraising year. We will then pass the microphone to our keynote speaker, Dr. Emily Seto from the University of Toronto.
