Research has shown that the presence of heart disease and stroke is higher in the Indo-Asian population compared to other ethno-cultural groups. This may be due to multiple reasons such as a higher presence of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, and lower levels of physical activity. This program will bring together the Calgary Indo-Central-Asian communities and the Calgary Healthcare community to help reduce the rate of heart disease and stroke through a supportive, culturally-sensitive program that is community-based through the following steps: 1. Increase awareness of heart disease and stroke through education among the Calgary Indo-Central-Asian population. 2. Identify early, the risk factors related to heart disease and stroke through screening programs. 3. Provide appropriate follow-up care to the population at risk for heart disease and stroke.
