Welcoming Corazón Sin Fronteras to the FH Europe Foundation Network

We are pleased to welcome Corazón Sin Fronteras to the FH Europe Foundation Network. Based in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain, this long-standing cardiovascular health association joins our growing European community dedicated to improving prevention, care, and patient support in cardiovascular disease. 

Founded in 2005 and formally registered in the Basque Country, Corazón Sin Fronteras is a non-profit organisation committed to promoting heart health, preventing cardiovascular disease, and supporting patients and families. Their work spans education, prevention, rehabilitation, and community engagement, with activities ranging from public awareness campaigns and cardiovascular health events to patient support initiatives and collaboration with healthcare professionals. 

Joining the FH Europe Foundation Network is a natural step for Corazón Sin Fronteras. With a strong focus on prevention, patient wellbeing, and community empowerment, the organisation recognised the value of connecting with a wider European movement advocating for early detection, equitable care, and improved outcomes in inherited lipid conditions and premature cardiovascular disease. 

This partnership is built on a shared commitment to: 

• Improving cardiovascular outcomes through awareness, education, and advocacy 

• Amplifying the patient voice, particularly from the Basque region and across Spain 

• Strengthening collaboration through the exchange of best practices, experience, and innovation among patient organisations across Europe 

Corazón Sin Fronteras brings valuable strengths to the network. Their presence enhances representation from Spain and adds important regional, cultural, and linguistic perspectives. Their long-standing experience in prevention and community-based education complements the network’s work in early detection, patient empowerment, and cardiovascular risk reduction. 

Their active involvement in initiatives such as World Heart Day, cardiovascular health weeks, peer support activities, and public outreach aligns closely with the FH Europe Foundation’s commitment to community-led health promotion. These shared efforts will reinforce collective visibility, impact, and advocacy at both national and European levels. 

Through membership in the FH Europe Foundation Network, Corazón Sin Fronteras will benefit from: 

• A European community of patient leaders for collaboration and shared learning 

• Access to educational resources and evidence-based tools to support local campaigns 

• Greater international visibility and opportunities for partnership 

• Advocacy support to strengthen engagement with policymakers and health systems 

• Participation in cross-border initiatives and joint projects 

At the same time, the network is strengthened by: 

• Deeper reach in Southern Europe 

• The addition of experienced, community-driven patient advocates 

• Expanded opportunities for multi-country collaboration in prevention, care, and education 

Together, we continue to build a strong, connected European network committed to reducing the burden of inherited and preventable cardiovascular conditions and improving the lives of patients and families across Europe.
