The Irish Heart Foundation is a community of people who fight to protect the cardiovascular health of everyone in Ireland.
It is the national stroke and heart charity, and its mission is to eliminate preventable death and disability from heart disease and stroke, and to support and care for those living with these life-changing conditions.
The Foundation undertakes lifesaving and life-changing work by innovating and leading in health promotion and heart disease and stroke prevention, building a nation of lifesavers through CPR training, campaigning and advocating for patients, and speaking out and caring for people living with heart disease and stroke.
Some examples of the Foundation’s work which you may be familiar with include the Act F.A.S.T signs of stroke campaign, our Mobile Health Unit providing free heart health checks across the country, the free CPR 4 Schools programme teaching pupils how to react in an emergency or our Nurse Support Line.
