Join us in our mission to reduce the risk of heart disease.
We are honored to have been featured in Eko's Front Lines episode, "Closing the Gap". This video encapsulates the impact that our organization has on our community, as we aim to close the care gap in access to heart health and education in Louisiana and beyond.
Women are 50.5% of the U.S. population, yet we are often not even 50% of research participants or researchers. Furthermore, women only represent 10-15% of all cardiologists in the country. So how can we create clinical trials that close these gaps in health outcomes and be more inclusive and designed to meet the needs of women differently?
To honor Women's History Month, we proudly share this episode of The Pulse, featuring Dr. Courtney Jordan Baechler, Medical Director of Health Equity and Promotion at Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation.

Heart disease is the nation’s number one killer, even outranking all cancers combined.
At HeartSense, we aim to address health inequities, specifically by closing the care gap in access to heart health and education in Louisiana and beyond.
Through our educational resources, local pop-up screenings, volunteers, funding partners, and valued donations, you will find us working directly with our community members in need.
Our founders have built the bridge in our local communities to overcome systemic barriers that limit access to advanced technology and expertise. Together, we can reduce the risk of undiagnosed heart disease.

We thank you for your ongoing support for the work of HeartSense. In 2022 we conducted 17 screening programs and touched over 700 people at risk for structural heart disease - Many of whom were found to have heart murmurs that they were previously unaware of, potentially keeping dozens of people in disadvantaged communities from developing irreversible damage to their hearts.
The success of our program would not be possible without your lifesaving contributions. Together, we are transforming the paradigm for cardiovascular wellness in our community. Thank you and may you have a healthy and prosperous new year.
Join us in our mission to reduce the risk of heart disease.
