WHY:    Preventing 1 million heart attacks and strokes will require a commitment from everyone – health care providers, pharmacies, hospitals, employers, communities, and individuals.  Join this webinar to learn how leading hospital systems and communities are using health IT to engage clinicians and consumers to increase awareness about heart disease prevention and empower patients to take control of their own health. 
This is the second in a series of listening sessions ONC has designed to reach out to stakeholders on important health-IT related issues.
