Bringing Better Days to the Sunshine State Florida ranks third in the US in the number of HIV/AIDS cases, while Miami-Dade County ranks first in the number of HIV/AIDS cases. 1 In response, the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine’s Healthy Living for Better Days will combine an exercise program with healthy-eating education into a community program to improve overall and cardiovascular health status among low socioeconomic status people living with HIV/AIDS. The program evolved from a study that investigated the effect of exercise training on immune functioning, metabolic variables, and quality of life in low-income individuals infected with HIV. Given the positive findings and the needs of this population, Healthy Living for Better Days will offer a 12-month community program of cardiovascular and resistance exercise training performed three times a week and weekly classes on healthy eating based on the Departments of Health and Human Services and Agriculture’s dietary guidelines for Americans. 2012 is the first year the Connections for Cardiovascular Health SM (CCH) program awarded funding to Healthy Living for Better Days, totaling $223,738 to date. 1 2011 Florida Annual Report The Healthy Living for Better Days program aims to improve overall and cardiovascular health status among this patient population of Miami-Dade County, which has one of the highest rates of new HIV cases nationwide. All of our participants will have an opportunity to train for local walkathons to achieve and promote the Healthy Living program. – John E.

Have a Heart New York has over 1 million uninsured residents, and cardiovascular disease consistently ranks first each year as the cause of death over the past decade. 1 Organized and operated by a volunteer staff of medical, nursing, and physician’s assistant students and attending physicians, the Heart-to-Heart Community Outreach Campaign at Weill Cornell Medical College will screen uninsured, underserved, at-risk communities for cardiovascular disease and diabetes in New York City. To decrease these barriers to medical care, the Heart-to-Heart Community Outreach Campaign program will administer comprehensive screenings at community centers and faithbased organizations where participant familiarity is already firmly established. The program’s progress will be tracked with follow-up surveys of community screening participants. In addition, Heart-to-Heart will develop a mobile data system to instantaneously capture health information of screening participants, create an informational website, and establish a starter-kit to help other institutions begin their own community outreach initiative. 2012 is the first year the CCH program awarded funding to Heart-to-Heart, totaling $181,895 to date. Thanks to generous funding from the Foundation’s Connections for Cardiovascular Health SM program, Weill Cornell’s Heart-to- Heart Community Outreach Campaign will reach a greater number of New Yorkers in underserved and underrepresented communities. The Heart-to-Heart Community Outreach Campaign empowers participants to lead healthier lives while connecting those most in need with healthcare professionals and solutions. This year Heart-to-Heart plans to increase the frequency of its cardiovascular disease community screenings and measure their impact on the health of participants. – Julianne Imperato-McGinley, MD, Associate Dean of Translational Research & Education at Weill Cornell Medical College and program director of its Clinical and Translational Science Center SUMMARY GRANT AWARDEE: Weill Cornell Medical College GOAL: To screen uninsured, underserved, atrisk communities for cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
