Hey, it’s Aaron and in this final episode, I talk about what makes living with Heart Failure as a young adult unique, and why I wanted to get involved in advocating for heart health. The CHF Alliance network has been an invaluable source of strength and inspiration for myself and other Heart Failure patients across Canada. Together, we share our stories and strategies to advocate for change. I am also advocating for better care of Heart Failure patients to make things easier for their caregivers. Thanks for following my story over the past few weeks. If you’re interested in getting involved with the CHF Alliance, please get in touch! https://lnkd.in/gbQZ-stR
