The HeartHeritageProject is a youth organization dedicated to advocating for cardiovascular health. We spotlight personal stories, provide educational resources, and empower teens and families to advocate for heart health through storytelling, prevention, and community.

Our logo displays two blue DNA strands that form an H embedded in a heart, representing the connection between genetics and the prospect of having a healthy heart. The leaf on the side of the heart signifies the role the environment also plays in heart health outcomes. Altogether, it reads “HHP”, which stands for HeartHeritageProject and the red color scheme symbolizes health and prevention.

We welcome teens and young adults who have experienced a heart condition—whether congenital, acquired, or genetic—to share their journeys. Parents, caregivers, and healthcare professionals are also invited to contribute perspectives that inspire and educate others.

HHP is designed to platform individuals passionate about spreading awareness and preventing heart disease. Anyone can benefit from watching our videos, reading our blogs, or reviewing our curated resources, especially individuals with a medical family history of heart disease, those looking to make positive lifestyle changes and healthcare professionals.

While we collaborate with other organizations, the project is independently organized and youth-led, built on mentorship and community support.
