Why It Matters

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S., disproportionately affecting communities of color. At BHA, we believe access to preventive care is not a privilege — it’s a right. That’s why our mobile screenings, partnerships, and education efforts are more than services — they are lifelines.
