Happy Thanksgiving from VCSQI and VHAC!

Thanksgiving is a time to slow down, reflect, and appreciate the people and moments that make life special. At the Virginia Cardiac Services Quality Initiative (VCSQI) and the Virginia Heart Attack Coalition (VHAC), we’re filled with gratitude for everyone who plays a role in our mission to improve heart health and save lives.

This season, we’re especially thankful for:

• Our Patients, who remind us every day why our work matters.

• Our Healthcare Partners, whose dedication and collaboration make lasting change possible.

• Our Supporters and Advocates, who help us reach more people with life-saving resources and care.

As we gather around the table with loved ones, it’s also a great time to think about how we can care for our hearts—both emotionally and physically. Whether it’s sharing laughter with family, enjoying a brisk walk after dinner, or simply taking a moment to be present, these little actions can make a big difference.

We’re so grateful for your support, your trust, and your commitment to healthier lives. Together, we’re building a stronger, heart-healthy community, and we couldn’t do it without you.

From all of us at VCSQI and VHAC, we wish you a Thanksgiving full of joy, love, and connection. Here’s to good food, good company, and good health!

With warmest wishes,

The VCSQI and VHAC Team

P.S. Take care of your heart this holiday—after all, it’s what keeps us connected to everything we love. ❤️
