Mission Statement
Every hour, someone in Ireland suffers from a stroke. Every day, hundreds of Irish people are diagnosed with heart disease. Tragically, up to 9,000 people die each year from these conditions, making heart disease and stroke the nation’s biggest killers. It shouldn’t be this way, and that’s why we exist. Our mission at the Irish Heart Foundation is to stop preventable deaths and disabilities caused by heart disease and stroke. We’re here to support and care for everyone living with these conditions. Here’s what we focus on: • Caring for and standing up for people in our community who are affected by heart conditions and stroke, along with their families. • Promoting health and prevention to help change behaviour and reduce the risk of cardiovascular issues. • Training people in CPR so we can build a nation of lifesavers. • Campaigning for policies that encourage healthier living. Our vision is for everyone in Ireland to live a long, active, and healthy life, free from heart disease and stroke.
About This Cause
The threat of heart disease and stroke has never been more urgent, amplified by our aging population, sedentary lifestyles, and poor diets. Our goal is to create a healthier nation and reduce premature deaths from heart disease and stroke. We aim to: • Empower more adults and children to live healthier lives and avoid risk factors. • Support stroke and heart patients through dedicated local support groups to reduce isolation. • Save more lives from cardiac arrest with widespread CPR training. • Prevent more strokes and heart attacks with our national mobile health checks. • Ensure access to the best possible care, support, and information for everyone. • Fund breakthrough research to advance our understanding and treatment of heart disease and stroke. • Protect children from unhealthy food marketing and tobacco. At the Irish Heart Foundation, we believe in empowering people in Ireland to make their health last longer. By looking after your heart, you can be there to look after the hearts of those you love.
