The Cardiovascular Health Education Campaign (CHEC) is a 501(c)(3) organization that aims to raise global awareness for the importance of cardiovascular health, educate on prevention and consequences, and contribute to the support of at-risk communities through local programming, research, and fundraising.

Cardiovascular disease continues to be the leading cause of death in the United States. But more than this, poor cardiovascular health predisposes individuals to numerous other negative health consequences, including a decreased overall life expectancy. Still, 80% of heart disease can be controlled by maintaining a healthy lifestyle and managing risk factors. Moreover, we see increased susceptibility within low and middle-income communities, which often lack the resources to take preventative action. Given these considerations, there is an urgent need to address the elevated incidence of cardiovascular health complications both in the United States and globally.
