WHO WE ARE
Championship Hearts Foundation (CHF) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) agency focused on the prevention of sudden cardiac death by screening teens for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) and other cardiac abnormalities.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to prevent sudden cardiac death in the adolescent population. By screening for unrecognized heart conditions, we also strive to provide reassurance for young athletes and their families.
OUR VISION
To make Texas a model state for preventing death from cardiovascular disease.
OUR HISTORY
We have over 20 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.
