What is the One Heart Team?

One Heart Team is the new model for the relationship between the Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) and the 11 Affiliate organizations. It defines how CCS and the Affiliates will work together on common priorities, including membership, the Canadian Cardiovascular Congress (CCC), guidelines, continuing professional development (CPD), fundraising and advocacy.
