Site Policies

The World Heart Foundation (WHF) website provides a place for nonprofit organizations committed to cardiac care in underserved regions of the world to communicate and share important information with other members of the community and with anyone concerned with the issues addressed on this site. Most of the content on the site will be accessible to the public. However, only WHF Affiliates may be listed on the site, may be referenced by linking from the site, or may contribute to it.

To become a WHF Affiliate, go the brief note about the affiliation process and follow the links for the Memorandum of Understanding and the Affiliate Data Sheet. We would like to have as many Affiliates as possible to fully represent this community. Affiliation with WHF, however,is voluntary for both the potential affiliate and WHF. A potential affiliate may choose not to participate for any reason (or without cause) and WHF may chose not to complete the affiliation process for any reason (or without cause). Information about an organization belongs to that organization and WHF cannot make attestations about organization information, quantity of service provided, or quality of an organization's service.

If you are a WHF Affiliate and you would like to contribute to this website or if you would like us to feature or link to items of interest on your site or elsewhere, contact Jim Cox, M.D., CEO and President.
