Mission Statement
The vision of Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation ® (MHIF) is to create a world without heart or vascular disease.
About This Cause
The mission of Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation® (MHIF) is to improve the cardiovascular health of individuals and communities through innovative research and education. We exist because: • Heart disease is the #1 cause of death for men and women in the United States and worldwide, accounting for more than 40 percent of all deaths in the U.S. • More than 600,000 Americans die of heart disease-related issues every year, more than all cancers combined. Our efforts are focused on changing the trajectory of cardiovascular disease for individuals, communities and the industry on a local, national and global scale. For 40 years, MHIF has led life-saving efforts to improve cardiovascular health and outcomes. The Level 1 and Cool It programs developed at MHIF have been adopted across the country and around the world, saving countless lives. The study of new devices and drugs, from pacemakers and stents to the most recent medications, improve the quality of life for those diagnosed with heart disease. At the same time, we are leading the charge to prevent heart disease through the Hearts Beat Back®: The Heart of New Ulm project that is proving it is possible to improve the cardiovascular health of an entire community. Every dollar invested in the Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation is wisely spent. MHIF invests $.78 of each dollar directly into research and educational efforts. Annually, that investment makes it possible for the MHIF team to operate over 230 active studies, work with nearly 1,500 individuals who participate in studies, publish more than 120 peer reviewed articles and deliver more than 10,000 hours of professional education, sharing our findings and knowledge with practitioners everywhere. Your support of MHIF is a direct hit against heart disease, helping those living with heart and vascular conditions.
