About the program

About Dr. Fuster & Friends

Dr. Fuster & Friends is an engaging transmedia universe aimed directly to children ages 4-7 that combines animated storytelling, live action content, games, e-books, interactive activities, and educational resources.

We believe reducing heart disease is achievable through early health education, which leads to the development of healthy habits and improved quality of life.

Our program also reaches preadolescents 11–14—those beginning to face major challenges such as addictive behaviors and body image concerns—along with their families across diverse socioeconomic segments in Latin America and the USA.
