Irish Heart Foundation
Every hour someone in Ireland suffers from a stroke. Every day, hundreds of Irish people are diagnosed with heart disease.
Our Vision is a future where no hearts are broken by preventable heart disease and stroke.
Our mission is to eliminate preventable death and disability from heart disease and stroke and to support and care for those living with these lifechanging conditions.
We work to achieve our mission through:
- Caring for and speaking out for people in the community living with stroke and heart conditions and their families
- Innovating and leading in health promotion and prevention to change health behaviours and reduce cardiovascular risk
- Building a nation of lifesavers through CPR training
- Campaigning and advocating for policies that support people to live healthier lives
