EHN Welcomes Mehitabel Holler as Manager, Patients and Research

06 Feb 2025

The European Heart Network (EHN) is delighted to welcome Mehitabel Holler as our new Manager, Patients and Research.

In this key role, Mehitabel will collaborate closely with EHN’s patient member organisations and stakeholders across Europe to advocate for cardiovascular health, amplify patients’ voices, and support impactful research initiatives.

As someone with lived experience of atrial fibrillation, Mehitabel brings a unique perspective to the role. Their personal journey as a cardiovascular disease (CVD) patient has shaped their commitment to bridging the gap between policy, patients, and research. They are dedicated to ensuring that patients are heard, engaged, and supported—from advocating for better care to driving research that delivers meaningful change.

Before joining EHN, Mehitabel worked at RPP Group, a healthcare public affairs consultancy, where they managed projects focused on cardiovascular diseases, oncology, and neurodegenerative diseases. Their expertise in strategic planning, stakeholder coalition management, and patient advocacy will be instrumental in strengthening EHN’s work to improve cardiovascular health across Europe.

Mehitabel shared their vision for the role:

“As a CVD patient and EHN’s Patient and Research Manager, I aim to bridge policy, patients, and research—ensuring patients are heard, engaged, and supported. My own journey showed me the power of shared experience, and I’m committed to turning patient voices into action for better care and research.”

We are thrilled to have Mehitabel on board and look forward to the impact they will make in amplifying the patient perspective at EHN!
