Family Heart Foundation Community Forum

The FH Community Forum and Lp(a) Community Forum offer a chance to hear directly from individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and high Lipoprotein (a), or Lp(a) about their experience with these inherited lipid disorders and heart disease and stroke caused by FH and high Lp(a). We invite you to join us to connect with others who have, or are family members of those with, FH or high Lp(a). Our 2021 Community Forums will talk about the barriers to diagnosis and care our panelists faced, how they overcame them, and what they hope for the future.
