The Heart2Heart Foundation has worked with South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley and the S. C. Department of Health & Environmental Control (SCDHEC) to declare the third Thursday in February as the Statewide Screening Day.

​

In 2018, the official date will be Thursday, February 15 however we are encouraging our Statewide Screening Day partners to select the date(s) that work best for each participating community.  We will help promote all screenings dates and locations throughout Heart Month!

​

HOW CAN MY ORGANIZATION GET INVOLVED?

​

We need collaborative health care partners who can provide basic heart health screenings at no cost for at least one community event during Heart Month. The basic heart health screenings (typically) includes:  full lipid profile (cholesterol check), blood pressure check, blood glucose, BMI and basic risk assessment for heart disease.

 

Our SSD partners are also encouraged to offer additional screenings (e.g., A1-C, Vitamin D, C-Reactive Protein, EKG, Coronary Calcium Scoring) for a nominal fee.  Just let us know the details and we will help promote those services to the participants.  In areas where we expand our Advance Screening Scholarship Program, we will be happy to work with you to cover the costs for those at-risk women with financial barriers!

 

Heart2Heart will provide:

• Coordination and media promotion for your Statewide Screening Day event

• SSD T-shirts for your SSD Team

• Heart2Heart Bags which includes educational and promotional items for each participant (our SSD Partners are encouraged to add your materials)

• SSD 2018 follow-up report 

• In-kind Contribution Letter in recognition of the screenings provided in your community

​

For those partners who have ongoing heart health screening programs, we will also continue to promote your community events on our website throughout 2018!
