We strive to positively impact our community by providing youth education and leadership programs to local students. By engaging students with hands-on learning about disease prevention and exposure to career opportunities in STEM, we hope to fuel the ambitions of our future workforce and build a healthier WNY community.
Western New Yorkers suffer from higher rates of stroke and heart attack than the rest of the state. We equip youth with the tools to reduce their risk of developing heart disease and help their loved ones in case of emergency.
