Did you know heart disease is the second leading cause of death in Iredell County? The latest data from the Iredell County Health Department attributes 20 percent of premature deaths to heart disease.
This year, consider giving your local community the gift of heart health by purchasing a ticket to Iredell Health Foundation’s third annual Heart of Jazz event, which benefits the Cardiac & Vascular Care Fund for Iredell Health System. By purchasing a ticket, you’re not just reserving a seat – you’re saving lives and strengthening hearts in your own community.
As the only accredited chest pain center in Statesville, Iredell Memorial Hospital’s Heart & Vascular Center offers the community a full range of high-quality, personalized heart and vascular care. In addition to the Heart & Vascular Center, Iredell Health System serves its community by offering cardiovascular services through Iredell Vascular Clinic, Iredell Cardiology, Statesville Cardiovascular Clinic, and a cardiopulmonary rehabilitation program.
Last year, the event raised $57,425. Proceeds from Heart of Jazz support the purchase of new cardiovascular equipment, provide patient assistance, and expand cardiovascular service offerings for the community.
