The Salah Foundation has generously granted $500,000 for the renovation and expansion of Holy Cross Health’s congestive heart failure (CHF) clinic. Capacity will be expanded to include the addition of patient exam rooms and support space for a patient/family consult area.
Noreen Salah Burpee, Executive Director of The Salah Foundation, said, “I was moved to help support this very important cardiology need after learning that patients participating in the congestive heart failure program have half the readmission rate of those who do not and that their quality of life is enriched exponentially.”
The goal of Holy Cross Health’s Center for Cardiac Therapeutics is to build a CHF team around a mission of improving the care of CHF patients across the spectrum of their illness.
“We recognize congestive heart failure is a heterogeneous syndrome that requires ongoing care, said Dr. Joshua M. Larned, chief of medicine at Holy Cross and medical director of CHF services. “Compassion underlies our daily practice, and we are committed to improving the quality of life of our patients. With the generosity of The Salah Foundation, we will be able to enhance our patients’ care and experience.”
The Salah Foundation was created and funded through the generosity and lifelong success of James M. Salah. The Foundation proudly supports non-profit organizations in the United States in their pursuit to elevate the well-being of humanity through impactful programs that create healthy, productive, safe and responsible families and communities. The Salah Foundation is a private foundation by invitation only.
