AAHFN leadership message

The Silence Breakers were the TIME Magazine people of the year in 2017. I would like to challenge heart failure nurses to be the silence breakers for 2018. It is time that Heart failure nurses break the silence about the impact of heart failure. With 6 million current Americans having a diagnosis of heart failure and a projected 8 million by 2030, we need to raise awareness. The costs to the health care system, (14.3 Billion) and to society for lost wages, care giver stress and pre-mature death are continuing to rise (8.2 billion).
