Cardiovascular Deserts
Our commitment is to improving cardiovascular health for all. Heart attack, Stroke, Limb loss & Heart Failure are the number one causes of death for Americans. Cardiovascular Deserts are notable for high disease prevalence & low access to specialists and acute care facilities. Cardiovascular Deserts occur across rural & metropolitan communities. Cleveland, Northeast Ohio and Southern Ohio are representative of these communities. The numerous, responsible causes require deep understanding, strategic, sustained and coordinated evidence-based interventions: 1) Individual/Community education 2) Enhancing timely access to high quality clinical care 3) Advocacy and policy 4) Targeted clinical and implementation science research. Discover how we are tackling today's most pressing health challenges to foster a healthier future for all.
