FH Awareness Day Toolkit
Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) is the most common genetic condition leading to early heart disease. In fact, 1 in 250 people have FH. That's 1.3 million Americans and 30 million people worldwide. Unfortunately, 90% of individuals born with FH in the United States are undiagnosed.
FH Awareness Day was established in 2012 by the FH Foundation to raise awareness of familial hypercholesterolemia worldwide. This annual event is held on the September 24th, during National Cholesterol Education Month. Together, we raise our voices to help everyone #KnowFH.
