SHE FOUNDATION
“WE HAD MANY PROJECTS THAT WERE NOT CENTRALIZED SO WE DECIDED TO DEVELOP A FOUNDATION. I STILL REMEMBER NAMING IT AFTER THE INITIALS OF SCIENCE, HEALTH AND EDUCATION: SHE. WOMAN, SO NEGLECTED IN CARDIO DISEASES”
After a lifetime devoted to medicine and research, Dr. Valentín Fuster, is convinced that a change in the population’s lifestyle is the only way to avoid the spread of cardiovascular diseases, which are a real epidemic and the main cause of death in the world.
Faced with this evidence and based on the experience gained over his career, Dr. Valentín Fuster, promoted the creation of SHE, a non-profit foundation that, while focused on basic and clinical research (Science), is aimed at promoting healthy habits (Health) through communication and Education of the population.
With this goal, the SHE Foundation devotes its efforts to creating a frame of reference for what an education in health means and involves, stressing the acquirement of healthy habits from childhood in order to promote a world in which children, young people and adults have the ability to act positively towards their health.
