| The South Asian Heart Center envisions improvements in the health of South Asians, in many cases saving lives, by empowering participants and health care providers with best practices for detecting and treating this preventable disease. |
|
Over the project’s first five years, the South Asian Heart Center
will work
to: |
|
Reduce the incidence of heart disease among 5,000 South Asians. |
 |
|
|
Educate 5,000 health care providers on risk factors and assessment through symposiums and a lecture series, which in turn will reach 75,000 participants. |
|
|
Educate 15,000 community members on heart disease prevention at community centers, temples, and South Asian organizations. |
|
|
Change how providers screen and assess for heart disease with the local, national, and global South Asian community. |
|
|
Become a Center for excellence on heart health education for South Asians everywhere. |
|
|
Develop a model South Asian Heart Center for local, national, and international replication. |
