PHA - Because your Heart Matters

PHA Tagline

Everyone deserves a healthy heart and a healthy life. This is why the PHA makes it its mission to improve cardiovascular health. Every Filipino’s heart health matters to us. A healthier heart is important so that you can live longer- to enjoy life’s little pleasures: cherish the special moments, enjoy those summer getaways, travel and fulfill that bucket list, spend those weekend mornings playing a round or two of golf with friends, enjoy beautiful and perfect sunsets in your favorite hideaway, relish dining out experiences with family and friends, and take great delight in the company of grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Throughout our existence for the last sixty eight years, our programs, our advocacies, our campaigns and efforts are poured toward one goal- to improve cardiovascular health. Every Filipino’s heart health matters to us. 

We are the Philippine Heart Association.

We are here because your heart matters.
