Southern Coast Heart Ball

Dr. Brad Fraum, DC, Dr. Heather Hinshelwood, MD, and Dr. Brian McGinnis, DC are strong supporters and recently attended Southern Coast Heart Ball. Your doctors help The American Heart Association to connect, innovate, influence and invest in advancing efforts to change health outcomes as they relate to heart disease and stroke. Heart Ball celebrates these efforts to build a foundation of health in our community and ensure everyone lives a longer healthier life. The evening festivities included dinner, an opportunity to Open Your Heart and further support the mission and an exciting live auction.

The six cardiologists who founded the American Heart Association in 1924 would be amazed. From humble beginnings, the AHA has grown into the nation’s oldest and largest voluntary organization dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke.

A shared focus on cardiovascular health unites our more than 33 million volunteers and supporters as well as our more than 3,400 employees. Heart disease is the No. 1 killer worldwide, and stroke ranks second globally. Even when those conditions don’t result in death, they cause disability and diminish quality of life. We want to see a world free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke. The American Heart Association size and scope lets AHA have real impact. The AHA has invested more than $4.5 billion in research, more than any U.S. nonprofit organization.
