Grand Forks, ND –
Altru Health Foundation is excited to announce that Altru’s Gala 2019 will enrich lives
one beat at a time by supporting cardiology. Along with the main event
sponsor Alerus, Altru Health Foundation will host the fifteenth annual
gala on September 28, 2019, at the Alerus Center.
Altru’s Gala 2019 will focus on improving cardiac care throughout
the community and region through education, prevention screenings, technology,
and diagnostic equipment.
Generosity from donors at Altru’s Gala 2019 will increase the number
of heart and vascular screenings offered to the public. These 90-minute
ultrasound screenings require no prep work or pain but can detect possible
complications before they develop into a major health issue. In addition,
new diagnostic equipment will support patients who are receiving cardiac
care and new technology will be used to educate patients about heart-healthy living.
"Altru Health Foundation is thrilled to be supporting our world-class
Cardiology Department through this year's Gala,” says Kristi Hall-Jiran,
chief philanthropy officer at Altru Health System. “Heart disease
is the leading cause of death in our country with few families untouched
by this epidemic. We know the funds raised through this year's event will
literally save lives through an increase in education, screening, early
intervention, and prevention. We look forward to a wonderful event that
will benefit hundreds in our region for years to come!"
