The work we do to help our community comes from the heart.

Our Mission

The mission of the Community Cardiovascular Initiative is to provide the many underserved members of local Philadelphia communities with comprehensive heart health education activities with the ultimate goal of improving their overall cardiovascular health.

Our Vision

We believe that the key to improving the heart health of the communities we serve, starts with every member of the community understanding what it takes to achieve and sustain better heart health and overall wellness. We are committed to educating, empowering and inspiring the community we serve, one member at a time.

Medicine + Education = Meducation

Meducation Community Outreach Programs, which bring the power of medicine and education together, are a series of culturally relevant, community centered outreach events, which includes seminars, presentations and other hands-on, interactive programs with the goal of increasing public awareness and an understanding of how to improve and sustain overall heart health wellness. Together, they are designed to engage underserved Philadelphia area residents within community centers, faith-based organizations, health fairs and corporations. Our partnerships with the American Heart Association, Boston Scientific and Temple University extend the reach of our programs, focusing on these key areas, as well as promoting the concept of overall self-health. When implemented properly, Meducation benefits both the medical community and the members of communities it serves.

Medevangelism

We define Medevangilism as the practice of enlisting the power, reach and influence of church leaders to educate, reinforce and engage their congregations about the vital role that heart health plays in improving and sustaining their overall health. We have found that because people are more likely to respond to individuals they know and trust, Medevangelism is an extremely effective way of spreading the gospel about the lifelong benefits of cardiovascular wellness. Medevangelism serves as an ever-present reminder of the importance of empowering the community to seek out and practice preventative heart healthcare and participate in cardiovascular wellness activities and programs.
