Professional training for clinicians in cardiovascular prevention — building a network of medical experts shaping primordial prevention in schools, clinics and communities.
The Fuster Prevention Forum honors the legacy of Valentin Fuster, MD, PhD, MACC, by empowering cardiovascular clinicians to become healers, educators and community leaders. Participants learn practical tools and strategies to promote nutrition, physical activity, and emotional well-being among children and adults, and gain the skills necessary to build healthier communities from the ground up, starting in childhood.
The Fuster Prevention Forum envisions a world where education from the earliest ages fosters resilience, healthy habits and a community-based culture of prevention – ensuring every child has the foundation for lifelong cardiovascular health.

See ACC program detailsThe Fuster Heart Movement's SHE framework — Science, Health, and Education — is a single, coordinated strategy for preventing cardiovascular disease across the entire arc of a human life. SHE organizes the work at five scales simultaneously:
National and regional alliances like Fundación SHE Americas
Place-based initiatives such as Healthy Communities 2030
Programs that turn the household into the primary unit of cardiovascular health
Workplace and mid-life interventions like LARK, Grenade Heart, and Fifty-Fifty
The flagship Fuster Heart Movement, SI! Program, Colombia Healthy, Habits for Life
The program is anchored by three of cardiology's most authoritative institutions — the American College of Cardiology, Mount Sinai, and CNIC. Its strategic conviction: the earliest interventions produce the largest lifetime returns. A habit installed at six prevents a procedure at sixty. By investing across every level while concentrating its deepest energy on children, SHE reframes cardiovascular prevention from a medical service into a public, generational practice — one that engages governments, schools, neighborhoods, and parents as full partners with the clinic.
Join the network of clinicians transforming cardiovascular care from treatment to prevention.
