Access to Care is an area of strong interest to the Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS). Through Access to Care, the CCS promotes awareness and adoption of cardiovascular benchmarks and undertakes new initiatives to provide insight into access to care issues along the continuum of care. As a partner in the Wait Time Alliance, the CCS has released Benchmarks for Cardiovascular Care and participated in the annual Wait Time Alliance Report Card. Chair: Dr. Heather Ross, Toronto, ON |
