Shortly after release of the Action Plan, the National Forum for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention became established as a continuing partnership organization to implement the plan Anticipating the present 5-year milestone, the Executive Committee of the National Forum proposed, and the Coordinating Board approved, a process for an update to the plan, for release at the th National Forum meeting in March 2008 This document is the welcome result. The National Forum is pleased to present this Update to A Public Health Action Plan to Prevent Heart Disease and Stroke We trust that it will be a relevant and useful guide worldwide for individuals and organizations working to promote cardiovascular health and eradicate preventable heart disease and stroke." p. 9-10.
