Heart Foundation of New Zealand

Nestled in the heart of Hamilton, New Zealand, the Heart Foundation has been a beacon of hope for over five decades, tirelessly championing the cause of heart health. Established with a vision to create a world free of heart disease, we are a passionate welfare organisation dedicated to improving the wellness and lifestyle choices of Kiwis across our beautiful nation. Our journey began in 1958 when a group of concerned individuals came together to address the rising tide of heart disease. Since then, we have grown into a formidable force, providing essential information, education, and support to those touched by this silent killer. We are more than just an organisation; we are a community, a family that believes in the power of unity to fight against heart disease. We fund groundbreaking research, fueling the quest for new treatments and therapies. Our commitment extends beyond the medical realm, as we also invest in specialist training for cardiologists, ensuring they are equipped with the latest knowledge and techniques to provide the best possible care. Prevention is at the heart of our mission. We run comprehensive heart disease prevention programs, empowering individuals with the tools they need to make informed choices about their health. From dietary advice and exercise regimes to stress management techniques, we are committed to helping people take control of their heart health. Advocacy is another cornerstone of our work. We lobby government bodies, influencing policies that prioritise heart health. Our voice is strong, resonating in the halls of power as we fight for a future where heart disease is no longer a threat to our loved ones. Whether you're seeking information, guidance, or support, or you're passionate about joining us in our mission, you are more than welcome at the Heart Foundation of New Zealand. Together, we can beat heart disease. Together, we can create a healthier future for all Kiwis.
