Over 30 years ago, a group of Oklahoma cardiologists began asking the important questions: Why does heart disease exist? How do these diseases develop and worsen? How can we find new ways to fight our nation’s #1 killer?
They knew that only by asking questions like these and pursuing the answers would progress be made towards the improved health of our society.
And that’s when our fight against heart disease began. The Oklahoma Heart Hospital Research Foundation (OHHRF) was created with the sole purpose of cardiovascular research and has since developed and expanded programs to meet the ever-changing needs of our patients.
Today, we proudly serve the whole heart of Oklahoma through innovation, compassionate care and exceptional discovery in research.
More treatments are working. More breakthroughs are happening. And more patients are getting what they need most – precious time.
You see, there is a human aspect to the fight against heart disease that is personal to us all. Giving grandparents more time with their grandkids and families more holidays together is what makes our hard work worthwhile – it’s what drives us to keep asking the important questions and searching for answers.
As OHHRF enters its third decade of success, the heart of our mission remains the same – help patients fighting heart disease live better and longer lives. Today, heart disease is deadly. But with support from generous donors, we can create a better tomorrow for you, your loved ones and generations to come.
