Where Your Money Goes

- save lives at the moment a health emergency strikes
- promote recovery, where and when it’s needed
- By 2020, significantly improve the health of Canadians by decreasing their risk factors for heart disease and stroke by 10%
- By 2020, reduce Canadian’s rate of death from heart disease and stroke by 25%
