This will give citizens in these groups better access to information and support for preventing and treating heart conditions.
Key points

Support for community organizations working on heart health in disproportionately affected communities.
Funding for research on heart disease, including its link to COVID-19, and creation of an online clearinghouse for research and treatment options.
