We want to lead the nation in cost effective heart screenings for youth through scientific research, community and professional education, and outreach and advocacy for making participation in sports safe.
OUR VISION
To make Texas a model state for preventing death from cardiovascular disease.
OUR HISTORY
We have over 19 years of experience conducting large-scale adolescent heart screenings. Recent collaborations with Baylor College of Medicine, the University of Texas School of Public Health, and an endorsement by the Texas Chapter of the American College of Cardiology are a testament to our expertise.
