The personal stories and experiences of heart patients makes the biggest impact with the key decision-makers in government.

Through our support services for heart patients we hear the lived experiences and challenges facing heart patients in Ireland.

Lack of psychological, economic, and social supports at community level, not only impacts patients’ ability to recover, but is a challenge to remaining well with their diagnosis in the community.

Heart patients of a working age face particular family challenges for what is a life-long condition, requiring life-long medication and medical care.

The Irish Heart Foundation would love to hear from you if heart advocacy interests you.
