The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario (HSFO), a volunteer-based health charity, leads in eliminating heart disease and stroke and reducing their impact through the advancement of research and its application, the promotion of healthy living, and advocacy.
Based on a review of its mission investments to achieve the above, the HSFO Board of Directors approved a new strategy to support the efforts to reduce the prevalence and complications of obesity. Specifically, over the next five years, HSFO will play a significant leadership role to promote healthy weights in Ontario via a primary focus on public awareness, advocacy, and provincial and regional health partnerships, and supported by an investment in research. This RFP addresses the evaluation of the overall initiative.
