Why the VHA Needs Hello Heart: A Vital Solution for Veterans' Heart Health

Veterans have selflessly served our nation, enduring challenges and sacrifices that many of us can never fully understand. But the reality is that when they return home, the fight is far from over. One of the most pressing health issues veterans face today is cardiovascular disease (CVD), a silent but devastating condition affecting millions in the VA healthcare system.

With over 11 million veterans under the care of the VHA, 60% of them struggle with CVD, and more than 1.2 million have a service-connected CVD disability. Despite the magnitude of this issue, the current systems in place are not enough to fully address the complexities of heart health for veterans. This is where Hello Heart comes in.

Hello Heart is more than just a health management tool—it’s a proactive solution that can empower veterans to take charge of their cardiovascular health. By offering user-friendly technology that tracks vital health metrics such as blood pressure, heart rate, and cholesterol, Hello Heart provides veterans with the information they need to make informed decisions about their well-being. These are the kind of tools that can make a real difference in the fight against CVD, giving veterans the power to manage their health daily, not just in the doctor's office.

The need for Hello Heart is critical. The VHA faces tremendous challenges in delivering the kind of personalized, accessible, and continuous care veterans need to effectively manage chronic conditions like CVD. Hello Heart’s technology helps bridge this gap by offering tailored insights, reminders, and support that go far beyond traditional care methods. It’s about giving veterans the resources to improve their quality of life, stay healthy, and remain active participants in their own care journey.

For the VHA, partnering with Hello Heart means more than just providing a tool—it’s about offering a transformative solution that directly addresses the pressing needs of veterans. With our scalable technology, we can provide comprehensive, ongoing support that complements the VHA’s existing services and ensures veterans receive the best care possible.

Veterans have already given so much to our country. Now it’s time to ensure they have access to the tools that will help them thrive in the next chapter of their lives. The VHA can’t afford to wait any longer to integrate solutions like Hello Heart into their system—this is a crucial step toward improving veterans’ health outcomes and honoring their service with the care they deserve.

At Hello Heart, we’re committed to working alongside the VHA to deliver lasting, meaningful change for veterans, one heartbeat at a time. Together, we can make a profound difference in their health and well-being, today and for years to come.
