MISSION
We are on a mission to encourage and strengthen under-resourced communities to live at their highest potential through hands-on heart health education and nutrition.
GOAL
Our goal is to strengthen the communities of Cleveland as a whole by providing tools that build knowledge of healthier lifestyles to help reduce the risk of generational health disparities that lead to heart disease, the leading cause of death in the United States. We take an extra step with the younger generation to address the equality and equity gap in careers in healthcare by providing students with hands-on experiences that encourage the attainment of higher education with an emphasis on STEM/healthcare.
PROGRAMS
The Wealthy Heart program is a series of hands-on heart health sessions that provide participants with healthy alternative meals and physical activity options in exchange for blood pressure and glucose readings during convenient mobile health screenings and education. It’s never too early to take charge of your health.
Health Science Labs are interactive workshops for students designed to increase interest in healthier lifestyle habits and higher education in STEM/healthcare-related fields.
