Black Heart Association Hosts Dallas Film Event Exposing Hidden Heart Attack Risks
Free screenings, expert panel, and onsite heart checks aim to save lives in communities most affected by heart disease
DALLAS, TX | June 3, 2025 — On Saturday, June 14, the Black Heart Association will host a free public event designed to bring attention to one of the most persistent and deadly health threats facing Black communities today: heart disease.
Taking place at 2:00 PM at 1005 Botham Jean Blvd, Dallas, TX 75215, the event features the Dallas premiere of The Making of a Heart Attack, a short film that traces the often-unseen progression of cardiovascular disease. Attendees will also hear from medical professionals during an expert panel discussion and receive free heart health screenings on-site.
Heart disease has long been the leading cause of death in the United States, but the burden is not shared equally. Black Americans are more likely to develop heart conditions earlier, less likely to receive timely treatment, and often face systemic barriers to prevention and care. Many never hear of terms like LDL-C or Lp(a) until after a major cardiac event has already happened.
The Black Heart Association is working to change that by making heart health visible, personal, and urgent.
This event is not just educational. It is a direct action opportunity—bringing critical knowledge and free health services into the hands of those who need it most.
Event Highlights:
Short Film Screening: The Making of a Heart Attack
Educational Panel: Experts will explain the risks of LDL cholesterol and Lp(a) and how to address them
Free Heart Screenings: Confidential, onsite, and open to all registered guests
When people understand how heart attacks develop—not just in moments, but over years of silent damage—they are more likely to take action. When screenings are offered at no cost and in familiar community spaces, lives can be changed and saved.
The Black Heart Association invites media, healthcare partners, and the public to attend and be part of a conversation that cannot wait. Heart health is not a trend. It is a long-term commitment, especially in communities that have been historically overlooked.
The Black Heart Association is a nonprofit focused on heart disease prevention in underserved communities. Through health education, advocacy, and accessible care initiatives, the organization works to improve outcomes and save lives.
Press are welcome to attend. Interview opportunities with event organizers, health professionals, and community members will be available on-site. For media credentials or interview requests, contact Bliss at hello@blissfulpublicrelations.com or 214-444-3227.
