Our regional teams

We have a team of dedicated staff working across the country. They are ready to help you with heart health initiatives and support people and families/whānau affected by heart disease.

Heart Health Promoters in your community

Heart Health Promoters (HHPs) work with communities and workplaces to promote heart healthy lifestyles and to improve awareness of heart health and the risk factors for heart disease. They raise awareness, deliver education and act as local ambassadors for the Heart Foundation, making sure that we are visible and connected in local communities. Our HHPs work with families/whānau, workplaces and community organisations to provide practical tools and resources to support heart health.

Nutrition Advisors

Nutrition Advisors work in schools and early learning services helping to create environments that promote healthy eating and physical activity. They work closely with teachers, education leaders and decision-makers in many ways including: supporting the provision of healthy food, providing professional development opportunities for staff, developing healthy policies and delivering relevant teaching sessions. Most of our Nutrition Advisors are tertiary-trained nutritionists.
