Year in Review

Enjoying vegetables from one of the eight childcare gardens the Heart Network funded this year

2012 was a productive year and we are pleased to take this opportunity to highlight the changes in policy and plans, the execution of projects and delivery of programs that occurred.

Regardless of initiative, from Complete Streets to gardens to electronic health records, the progress made this year could not have occurred without the partnerships that were created and/or strengthened by each Heart Network program. It is the synergy and support in these relationships which fuels us forward towards our vision of creating communities that will help help prevent each resident from developing a preventable disease.
