A Group of Patients

Our Mission

The HeartLife Foundation is a patient-driven charity whose mission is to transform the quality of life for people living with cardiovascular diseases by engaging, educating, and empowering a global community. We aim to create lasting solutions, drive innovation, and build healthier lives for patients, caregivers, and families worldwide.

About Us

HeartLife has evolved from a heart failure organization into one of North America's leading patient-led cardiovascular charities—because all roads lead to heart failure. Our mission is to raise public awareness of cardiovascular diseases, empower patients, families, and caregivers through education and support, and advocate for better care for everyone.
