The Curaçao Heart Foundation is an organization operating in Curaçao the Netherlands Antilles. Our activities include the propagation of general information on Heart Disease, Heart Disease indicators, factors and Heart Disease prevention.

A lot of our activities are focused on educating people who have little knowledge of the heart's inner workings and the specifics of cardiovascular diseases, how to recognize them, and most importantly, how to prevent them. In this we emphasize healthy living by eating healthy and excising. We also highlight risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or hereditary heart conditions.

Our CPR courses, for both teens and adults, are well received and contribute towards a higher survival rate for people suffering some form of heat attack or stroke. Many volunteers help to ensure the success of certification programs.

The CHF organizes and participates in a number of public events and programs around the year, offering cholesterol and blood pressure measurements. Weight-to-height ratio warnings, dietary advice and informational folders on the whole range of cardiovascular diseases and their symptoms. One of the main events is the annual cardio-check for managers, which is well attended.
