12 Oct 2024 was an incredible day at Project Heart 2024! 💖 We gathered about 800 participants equipped with lifesaving CPR and AED skills, ready to make a difference in our community. A special thank you to our Guest of Honour, Mr. Baey Yam Keng, for joining us to promote bystander CPR on this significant day. Together, we can increase survival rates for cardiac arrest victims and empower each other to act in emergencies. Let’s continue to spread awareness and save lives! ❤️

Today, we made history with Institute of Technical Education College West as almost 1,000 students and staff participated in the largest-ever salt taste threshold test at our Heart Matters event (in celebration of National Heart Week/World Heart Day). The Heart Matters event aimed to encourage the proactive management of heart health, and to instill crucial cardiac emergency response skills. The enthusiastic turnout reflects a collective hope to reduce the lives impacted by heart disease, and of the commitment of these young minds to turn knowledge into practice for a heart-healthier Singapore. A big thank you to our Guest of Honour, Mr Don Wee, Grassroots Adviser to Chua Chu Kang GRC GROs (Brickland), for joining us in this groundbreaking and memorable event!

The Singapore Heart Foundation (SHF) is proud to have launched our Blood Pressure (BP) Awareness Kiosks as part of National Heart Week / World Heart Day (NHW/WHD) 2024. This initiative makes BP monitoring more accessible in community spaces, empowering many Singaporeans to take an active role in preventing cardiovascular disease (CVD). On 28 Sep 2024, we successfully hosted the Limbang-SHF Health Carnival near Yew Tee MRT. With the theme “Know Your Numbers” and the tagline “Score Right, Not High!”, the event featured mass workout sessions, cooking demonstrations, health talks, and interactive booths. We were honored to have Mr Ong Teng Koon, Second Advisor to Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC GROs (Limbang), grace the event, supporting our efforts in raising awareness and providing practical tools to combat hypertension and improve public health. #CardiovascularHealth #HypertensionAwareness #KnowYourNumbers #SingaporeHeartFoundation #CommunityHealth

🤝 Strengthening Skills, Saving Lives 💓  At the Singapore Heart Foundation, we believe that continuous learning is essential for effective heart health advocacy and lifesaving efforts. Last Thursday evening, we had the opportunity to collaborate with like-minded partners to host an enriching session for our life support and first aid instructors.  We were privileged to have A/Prof Chi Keong Ching and Dr Wai May Ng, who made time out of their busy schedules to share their expertise on Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke. Mr Lin Zicheng from our Save-a-Life team also took the opportunity to share about new features available on myResponder, our national lifesaving app that has been refreshed and revamped for the community.  We are grateful to the Singapore Red Cross who hosted us at their headquarters – a fantastic space that fostered learning and connection. With nearly 100 instructors in attendance, the session was dynamic and interactive, with plenty of thought-provoking questions during Q&A.  Together, we look forward to building a stronger, more informed community of instructors and lifesavers, dedicated to improving heart health and responding swiftly in times of need.     #HeartHealthAdvocacy #ContinuousLearning #myResponder #StrokeAwareness #AtrialFibrillation

A heartfelt thank you to FARRER PARK HOSPITAL for providing the Singapore Heart Foundation (SHF) with the opportunity to showcase our vital work in heart health. We were thrilled to present our initiatives in the areas of prevention, rehabilitation, and resuscitation to the participants. Through this collaboration, we aim to raise awareness about preventing heart disease, supporting cardiac rehabilitation, and promoting lifesaving skills such as CPR+AED. Together, we continue to make a positive impact on the community! #YourHeartWeCare #SHF #SingaporeHeartFoundation Geoffrey Ong

Our advocacy efforts strengthen every day with the support of like-minded partners who are champions of heart health. Last month, we co-organised a community outreach event with Changi Airport Group and called upon SHF's heart heroes to raise awareness on the importance of bystander CPR+AED, nutrition literacy and an active lifestyle, at the Changi Airport Terminal 3. Together, we can create a heart-healthier future for all!

We are honoured to be recognised as a valued partner of the Learning Enterprise Alliance (LEA) at the LEA Awards & MOU Signing Ceremony on 29 Aug.
