Mission
Statement
Our mission is to help prevent the
development of heart disease, diabetes,
obesity and cancer in those at risk, as well
as ensure that those who are already
affected are able to improve their long-term
health and prognosis. Through education,
individualized exercise programs,
counseling, pharmacological intervention,
and psycho-social support, our goal is to
reduce an individual's modifiable risk
factors and improve their quality of life.
CHIP staff members are also committed to
doing internationally recognized research to
further the knowledge surrounding heart
disease prevention and rehabilitation.
