As a health professional working in rural or remote parts of Australia, you know all too well the challenges patients and carers can face as they navigate life with coronary heart disease. From attending medical appointments to accessing medicines and heart-healthy food, adjusting to a ‘new normal’ can be difficult.
MyHeart MyLife - the Heart Foundation’s free, evidence-based digital support program – can help. The program features information, tools and resources tailored specifically to meet the needs of your patients living with coronary heart disease in rural or remote regions, and their carers.
Designed to complement clinical care and cardiac rehabilitation, this 12-week program empowers patients to self-manage their condition and live well with heart disease, with:
- 24/7 access to trusted online information and resources on topics including healthy eating, managing medicines and emotional wellbeing, all tailored to the rural and remote experience
- on-demand videos featuring clinical experts and others living with coronary heart disease, as they share their personal stories of navigating their condition in rural and remote areas
- peer support, via access to a thriving Facebook community of over 6,000 members where people can connect with others from around Australia who understand what they’re going through.
Already, hundreds of people living in rural and remote areas have benefited from participating in the program. Early evaluation shows that since joining the program, participants are improving their knowledge and understanding of their condition, making changes to improve their diet, and are experiencing fewer unhealthy days.
Whether it’s managing new medicines or finding the confidence to return to everyday life, MyHeart MyLife helps bridge the gap between hospital and primary health care, supporting long-term recovery and wellbeing.
By recommending MyHeart MyLife, you’re not just giving patients information; you’re offering support, connection and the tools to look after their heart health, wherever they live.
