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.
