History & Mission
Iowa Heart Foundation is here to help Iowans live longer, healthier lives. Founded by cardiologists here in Iowa, we remain committed to our clinical cardiovascular roots. A majority of our Board of Directors continues to be represented by cardiovascular professionals and will remain that way as we serve out our mission. For more than 35 years, we’ve supported heart health through education, prevention and community outreach —equipping both individuals and healthcare professionals with the tools they need. Everything we do works toward one goal: fewer lives lost to heart disease and stronger, healthier communities across Iowa.
Team
Iowa Heart Foundation has an active Board of Directors made up of professionals throughout Central Iowa who are dedicated to serving Iowans. The board members give their time, expertise and resources willingly to advance Iowa Heart Foundation’s mission.
