New health perspectives.
For everyone. Worldwide.
The Heart-Based Medicine Foundation, founded in Switzerland in 2020 by Prof. Jan Bonhoeffer, MD, is an international, non-profit science-based initiative of committed people who combine their professional expertise with knowledge about the healing power of love.
OUR STORY
After 20 years of clinical service, leading international research consortia, and advising international health organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), founder Prof. Jan Bonhoeffer, MD, concluded that most of the suffering in the world is not due to unclean water and infectious diseases, but a lack of love. Heart-Based Medicine® in all areas of healthcare is the answer and will be the future of medicine.
OUR VISION
An environment where people worldwide are empowered and encouraged to shape their journey to optimal health by attuning to love as a source of energy and change.
OUR MISSION
Develop and promote Heart-Based Medicine® as a relevant health expertise through basic and applied research, education, and training and to establish and cultivate a global Heart-Based Medicine Network.
How we see ourselves
We are a globally active, charitable, and tax-exempt non-profit organization with Swiss roots. We drive a systemic change in people’s understanding of health and aim to achieve a comprehensive and lasting social impact. We seek to advance science and work seamlessly in academic, health policy, corporate and professional networks.
We are also a non-denominational and politically neutral organization. We are a professional and learning organization. We trust in love and face the challenge of living with love every day.
Our Method
Heart-Based Medicine® is a competency of healthcare professionals that can be taught, acquired, and studied like any other proficiency. It enables healthcare professionals to harmonize their expertise with the compassionate wisdom of their heart. People experience this as a liberating feeling of affection, appreciation, and care. This in turn encourages them to use love as a source of energy and change.
Our Commitment
The Foundation maintains a research center as a hub for the data-driven refinement of reference methods, the continuous development of our services, and for the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the safety, efficacy, and systemic impact of Heart-Based Medicine.
The Foundation offers specific training and education programs for healthcare professionals. International meetings and conferences are held regularly to promote the exchange of experiences and the sharing of knowledge. Patient empowerment training is developed and delivered in collaboration with the Heart-Based Center.
The Heart-Based Center in Basel is the reference center for Heart-Based Medicine, with more to follow worldwide. The certified Heart-Based physicians and therapists at the centers accompany people on their healing path, giving them more vitality through the power of their hearts.
Products and services that comply with the guidelines of Heart-Based Medicine® receive a seal of excellence from the Heart-Based Medicine Foundation following a clear and transparent certification process. Quality control is carried out through regular audits.
This fund provides financial support to people who would otherwise not be able to afford treatment.
