ACS Network Heart Attack Day 2024
*THIS IS A VIRTUAL EVENT ONLY**
Paid registration also provides access to the recording and resources post event. The recording will be available for 60 days past the event.
Each year, St. Boniface Hospital treats over 2,000 heart attack patients. The Manitoba ACS (Acute Coronary Syndrome) Network is dedicated to improving outcomes for these patients. Our network aims to ensure that all heart attack patients across the province receive care that is based on the latest guidelines, is delivered optimally, consistently, and safely. We implement Recommended Standards and Algorithms, review local protocols, partner with EMS (Emergency Medical Services), and report on key performance indicators to maintain high-quality care. Additionally, we have established strong connections with healthcare providers who serve Indigenous patients, ensuring their unique needs are addressed.
The ACS Network’s Heart Attack Day is an initiative designed to equip healthcare professionals with the tools they need to overcome systemic barriers and access necessary resources for their patients. This event is targeted at Manitoba’s physicians, nurses, pharmacists, allied health professionals, cardiology technologists, paramedics, and educators, focusing on the optimal care for heart attack patients.
