Governance
Women's Cardiovascular Healthcare Foundation

The Women's Cardiovascular Healthcare Foundation is an endowment fund, created in 2020 by Claire Mounier-Véhier and Thierry Drilhon. Under their leadership, governance of the Foundation is provided by a Board of Directors whose responsibility is to define the strategic vision of the fund and validate its proper implementation. It is made up of members whose expertise and professional backgrounds reflect the medical and societal crisis that the Foundation tackles through its missions. Combining specialised physicians and senior leaders from civil society, it is unique in its composition and brings together know-how, communication and interpersonal skills.
