Heart disease causes 31% of all deaths each year in New Zealand and about 3,000 of these are premature . . . . they could be saved with better knowledge of a heart attack, and greater education on heart disease.
If you are a heart patient or heart event survivor, come along and meet people with the same life-changing condition in a friendly, informal and engaging informative way. You will learn a lot, and it may save your life.
Heartbeats is all about 'by the patient, for the patient' and we are committed to helping heart people everywhere lead longer and full lives.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
