  • About Us

    The FH Foundation is the leading organization in the U.S. dedicated to awareness, education, and advocacy for Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH), elevated Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) and polygenic hypercholesterolemia. These are common, but under-diagnosed, genetic disorders that can lead to early, aggressive cardiovascular disease in men, women, and even children. The FH Foundation’s mission is to raise awareness through research, advocacy, and education. Our goal is to save lives by increasing the rate of early diagnosis and encouraging proactive treatment.
