About Us

We are a private operating foundation dedicated to preventing and treating cardiovascular disease. Our mission is to improve public health awareness, provide charitable clinical care, and educate future medical professionals

Preventive cardiology improves population health by catching cardiovascular disease before damage is done in the form of heart attacks, strokes, and heart failure by identification, correction where possible, and control otherwise of risk factors such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, and other vascular risk factors. In-depth advanced lipid testing, prompt identification of underlying coronary artery disease & aggressive prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis is one goal.

This is especially important in reducing variations in care based upon gender as women who present to the emergency room are still more likely to be characterized as low risk based on standard cardiovascular risk assessment scores, and women are preferentially likely to receive less intensive management of coronary artery disease than their male counterparts.
