OUR GOALS


Our target is to prevent 10,000 premature deaths from heart disease and stroke by 2020.

A modelling exercise was undertaken to determine the effect of full-scale implementation of our Champlain CVD Prevention Strategy. The potential impact of our collective efforts to address heart disease and stroke in the Champlain District is equal to 10,000 lives saved.
