LIVING HEART FOUNDATION (LHF)

The Living Heart Foundation (LHF) is a nonprofit organization under IRS 501 (c) (3) code which was initially funded by a grant from the Edison Foundation.  Subsequently, private donations have been obtained from companies like Pfizer, Meridian Health System and from individuals.  The LHF was established by retired cardiac surgeon Arthur J. Roberts, M.D. in April 2001 to combat sudden cardiac death and to provide risk stratification with early intervention for cardiac, pulmonary, and metabolic conditions through on-site screening and integrated health programs.

LHF has been dedicated to providing these services to specific groups that traditionally have been overlooked, especially high school, college and professional athletes.  The initial efforts began with a number of high schools in Massachusetts, followed by the Columbia football team.  In the next phase, the Foundation has extended its services to rescue workers at the World Trade Center disaster, and has been invited to assist at the Summer 2004 Olympics in Greece.

Most recently, the LHF has begun a national health screening program involving current and retired professional football players.   Coincidentally, the organization has become a partner with the American Heart Association, the American College of Cardiology, and Pfizer in an exciting new movement called the Boomer Coalition.  The purpose of this alliance is to promote public awareness of the significance of CV disease in the aging baby boomers.
