On Aug. 16, the American Heart Association hosted its annual Research Reception. This year’s event was held at Tulane Medical Center, and showcased the American Heart Association’s funded research at the facility.
The event invited physicians, researchers, the medical community, and American Heart Association donors to see state-of-the art research happening right here in the community. The American Heart Association invested $2.7 million in funded heart and stroke research in 2016 at several New Orleans institutions. The funds raised are a direct result of the American Heart Association’s Go Red Luncheon, Heart Walks, and the Heart & Soul Gala.
Attendees were able to view current projects and mingle with leading researchers and doctors to learn how this research positively affects lives, health, the community, and the local economy.
