Through the Cardiac Care Award, we have been able annually make grants to institutes promoting the education, prevention and research specifically targeted towards women. This year $25,000 grant winner is Main Line Health Heart Center in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania. Main Line is one of the most experienced cardiac care and heart surgery programs in Southeastern PA.
Over the past two years the Heart Center has expanded its women and heart disease initiatives to include a “Smart Heart” component and free cardiac risk assessments. The “SmartHeart” plan would include classroom and retreat programs, lectures, and a “SmartHeart” kit that includes a Heart Healthy cookbook, tips and a cardiovascular physician directory.
