Heart disease affects everyone — if not directly, it’s likely someone close to you has been affected. That’s why, for nearly four decades, MHIF has been committed to one mission — creating a world without heart and vascular disease. Through our groundbreaking heart health research and farreaching education, we have been able to make the impossible possible for patients of all ages and backgrounds. Our work and research brings the hope of new advances and options to patients.

The foundation was established in 1982 by a group of cardiologists from the Minneapolis Heart Institute who recognized that the finest heart care for patients needed to be supported by an enduring commitment to education and research.
