International Women's Health Week
Celebrate Women's Health, May 12 - 18
During National Women's Health Week each year, millions of women take steps to improve their health. The week serves as a reminder for women to make their health a priority and build positive health habits for life.
Women tend to have a faster heart rate than men, combined with their higher life expectancy women are therefore more likely to develop the most common type of arrhythmia; Atrial Fibrillation (AF).

Throughout the week Arrhythmia Alliance , AF Association and STARS will be sharing fun facts and health tips on their social media pages,
to help provide education and raise awareness of women's health.
April Highlights

We want to say a big THANK YOU

Kadin provided his classmates with an overview of the organization, distributed AF Association resources and informed his classmates on ways to get involved.

If you would like more information about the work of the AF Association contact us; 📧 email, info@afa-us.org or
