What is Vascular Health?
• Vascular health; condition of the circulatory system which carries essential nutrients and oxygenated blood throughout the body.
• Healthy vascular system
characterized by unimpeded flow of blood within network of vessels lined by healthy cells (flexible/ elastic and devoid of build ups and blockages).

Developing the Vascular Health Strategy
• 2010, Cardiac Care Network, Heart and Stroke Foundation and Ontario Stroke Network – formed the Vascular Health Coalition (VHC), and committed to work together in advancing vascular health in Ontario.
• August 2012, Integrated Vascular Health Blueprint for Ontario (Blueprint) document released. Blueprint serves to guide province-wide action to advance vascular health in Ontario.
• Fall 2012, Vascular Health Implementation Steering Committee (ISC) comprised of vascular health system leaders, was formed.
• ISC mandate to guide and support implementation of the vascular health strategy at provincial and regional levels, as described in the Blueprint.

Healthy Menu Checklist; Background
• Every year in Ontario, there are hundreds of health related conferences and meetings held and attended by thousands of health care employees and decision makers. Healthy food choices are not consistently offered, in part, due to lack of healthy options from vendors and low demand from conference organizers.
• As part of our commitment to promoting health and preventing
disease, the Vascular Health Coalition will take a leadership role in requesting and demanding healthy food choices at every meeting. The hope is that other organizations will also adopt these guidelines. The increased demand for healthier food choices will help drive greater availability of healthy food from vendors.
