Signature Heart Health Programs & Events by The Heart2Heart Foundation
The first step toward better heart health is to know YOUR risk factors. A simple, basic screening typically checks your blood pressure, blood glucose, cholesterol, BMI/waist circumference as well as your family and medical history to predict your risk of heart attack or stroke. As a national partner with Quest Labs through Your Lab Works, women and men have access to low-cost basic and advance cardiovascular screenings!
If you are over 40 years of age, take the next step by talking to your doctor about a Coronary Artery Calcium Scan. This quick, painless screening can detect heart disease at its earliest stages and is saving lives! We are also affiliated with Lifeline Screening providing low-cost advance cardiovascular screenings across the US. Take our Heart Health Survey to learn more!
Every year, around 300,000 women die from this largely preventable disease but the good news is that 80% of heart disease can be prevented or managed. That means this is a fight we can win. We need women, like you, to join our cause! We gather online through our private #RedHeartMamas Facebook group reaching women from around the country!
Our largest community outreach means more opportunities to share our life-saving message. Each year, we partner with around dozens of community partners for this unique event that provides school supplies, free health screenings and access to resources to local students as well as their parents or guardians!
With more than 45 years of media experience, Heart2Heart's Sheila Caldwell has extended our reach by producing informative video series touching on heart diease prevention, healthy lifestyles and insights how we can win the fight against our #1 killer. This includes our "Doctor Chat" series, #RedHeartMamas Stories and programs for parents and educators.
Thanks to the generosity of the Singhi Charitable Foundation, our Advance CVD Prevention Screening Program is free to eligible participants over the age of 20 in York, Chester, Lancaster in South Carolina and Mecklenburg County in North Carolina.
