Heart Failure Awareness Week 2025
Approximately 6.7 million Americans over the age of 20 have heart failure, and this number is expected to rise to 8.5 million by 2030, according to HF Stats. Now, more than ever, raising awareness is essential for improving early detection, treatment, and patient outcomes. So please join HFSA in observing Heart Failure Awareness Week taking place from February 9 to 15.
During Heart Failure Awareness Week, our goals are to:
- Help individuals understand their risk for heart failure
- Foster early intervention
- Empower patients, caregivers, and providers to take informed actions
- Promote better management of heart failure
- Encourage heart-healthy habits
