...a world without heart and vascular disease. Every day, your investment in heart research and education brings that vision closer to reality — giving hope, health, and healing to countless lives.
Because of your generosity and our community’s support, MHIF continues to shine on the world stage. We’re proud to share that the Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation and Allina Health Minneapolis Heart Institute (AHMHI) have been named among the 2025 Scientific Excellence Top 10 (SET-10) by the Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF) — a prestigious recognition honoring the institutions driving the most impactful interventional cardiovascular research around the globe.
Behind every breakthrough are stories like Mark D.’s — a patient whose life has been transformed by this work. “Dr. Decker, thank you for the great work you and your team provided to me. I feel so much better, so much has changed for the good, in all aspects of my health! Thanks again!”
This Heart Month, we invite you to honor a loved one or celebrate our dedicated physicians, researchers, and educators by making a gift to advance MHIF’s life-changing research. Together, we’re not just treating heart disease — we’re rewriting the future of heart health for generations to come.
