Prevent the Risk Each year Heart Niagara works with Niagara Region elementary and secondary teachers to educate over 5,000 students on healthy choices and strategies to prevent heart disease as they grow up. The Healthy Heart Schools’ Program engages students, families and health care management of the health issues identified. New Pediatric Cardiovascular Risk Guidelines reinforce this approach and provide targets to achieve.

Grade 7 2011-2012 marked the eighth school year for the Grade 7 component of the Healthy Heart Schools’ Program. 1,444 grade seven students completed a family history questionnaire and participated in CPR Training.

Grade 9 The Grade 9 component of the Healthy Heart Schools’ Program has been in continuous operation since 1987. In the 2011-2012 school year over 3,500 students participated regionally. Of the students assessed, over 50% already have at least one risk factor for heart disease including 6% with high cholesterol, 7% for obesity, 5% for positive family history, 46% are not physically active enough, 2.5% smoke, and 1.8% have high blood pressure.

Research In the past year results from the Healthy Heart Schools’ Program have been published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine (NEJM) and the Journal of Hypertension. Publications are made possible by Heart Niagara’s data and outlined on the back page.

Heart Niagara appreciates your continued support. The Healthy Heart Schools’ Program is made possible by the partnerships Heart Niagara has with Niagara school boards, community and corporate donations, nurse practitioner funding from the Ministry of Health, and, by research funding from the CIHR and Cardiovascular Clinical Research Unit at SickKids. 2012 – 2013 Heart Niagara Donors
