Beneficiary: Women’s Heart Health at Ascension Providence Hospital and Outpatient Clinics. Proceeds from the 2024 Friends’ Ball will help us care for women with cardiovascular disease and those at risk. Heart disease ranks as the number one killer of American women! According to the American Heart Association, heart disease is responsible for more deaths in women than all types of cancer combined, including breast, ovarian, uterine and lung cancer. 

Our goal is to ensure advanced diagnostics and treatment therapies are available to help all women in our communities achieve and maintain cardiovascular health, regardless of ability to pay. These efforts can ultimately lead to a lower death rate from heart disease in women.

There are significant gender differences in basic cardiovascular health and disease including heart rhythm, heart failure, coronary disease and valvular disease.  Working together with specialists from several disciplines, the Women’s Heart Clinic at Ascension Providence Hospital takes into account the unique ways heart disease presents and manifests itself in women of all ages. 

Proceeds from the Friends’ Ball will help our cardiologists and their caregiving teams provide women with: 

• Screenings, comprehensive evaluation and follow up of cardiovascular risk factors (including emotional, social and pregnancy-related determinants). 

• Cardiovascular preventative strategies such as CAC score cards for high-risk patients.

• Outreach to ensure provision of cardiovascular care to women in underserved areas in addition to supplies including compression stockings, abdominal bands and blood pressure machines.

• The benefit of data collection and dedicated research focusing on female cardiovascular care and outcomes.

In these ways, proceeds from the 2024 Friends’ Ball will support Women’s Heart Health at Ascension Providence Hospital and our Outpatient Clinics.
