The HeartBright Foundation is a 501(c)3 charity headquartered in Charlotte, NC. Our main focus is providing education for the community in healthy lifestyles and to fund preventive cardiology programs in economically disadvantaged communities. We achieve the education of the community by alerting the public about risk factors of heart disease; Measure individual risk assessments via current testing technologies; Initial and ongoing education to assist individuals with their new heart healthy goals; Support individuals via resources, motivational programs and management tools. We won the first ever A.C.T.S. national award which is given to the free clinic that should be considered the model for all other free clinics in the country. Our cardiac resource center provides free education, exercise, and doctor visits to the uninsured and under-insured in our community for the treatment and management of heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. 92 cents of every dollar goes directly towards our programs and services. All of our doctors donate their time which allows us to treat a patient for a full year for 50 dollars.Our cardiac resource center provides free education, exercise, and doctor visits to the uninsured and under-insured in our community for the treatment and management of heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. 92 cents of every dollar goes directly towards our programs and services.
