WHY THIS INITIATIVE EXISTS
A Community Responsibility
Over the past several years, our community has experienced a troubling and heartbreaking pattern: otherwise healthy men and women — many in their 40s and 50s — suffering unexpected heart attacks or serious cardiac events.
In multiple cases, the underlying cause was significant coronary artery plaque , a condition that often develops silently and without warning. For many, symptoms only appear when it is already too late.
Advances in modern medicine now allow us to detect early signs of heart disease long before symptoms occur. Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) scoring is one of the most reliable tools available for identifying this hidden risk.
This initiative was founded to ensure that awareness, access, and education are no longer barriers to prevention.
In Memory of Eli Baitelman A"H אליהו בן אברהם משה הלוי ע"ה בייטעלמאן
Eli’s sudden passing deeply affected his family, friends, and the broader community. His story underscores a difficult truth: good health on the outside does not always reflect what is happening inside the heart.
By transforming loss into action, this initiative stands as a living legacy — one that seeks to prevent similar tragedies and protect others through early detection and proactive care.
