Heart disease can strike anyone.
In Oregon, the facts are alarming: one in five Oregonians dies of heart disease. 63 percent of adults have at least one of the three top heart disease risk factors. And the rates of high blood pressure and hardening of the arteries among youth and young adults are rising rapidly.
With our older population growing, Oregon faces a tidal wave of heart disease. With your help, we can meet this need by expanding access to cardiac rehabilitation. We can advance research to make care more effective, responsive and fair. Your gift can power prevention and wellness programs, including free heart screenings for thousands of youth each year. Your gift will change lives.
