Title
CARE Foundation
Description
In 1986, a small group of clinicians and scientists who shared concern about the problem of sudden cardiac death met informally to discuss the issues of the lack of public, professional, and political attention to this huge problem. It was subsequently agreed that an expanded group would meet regularly to discuss relevant topics and to take those actions which would enhance public recognition, and encourage political and scientific action. Recognition of the importance of sudden cardiac death as a public health problem had to be a prelude to finding methods of prevention.
Thus, the Coalition for the Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death was established, without portfolio, but with a mission that was pure. Among the founding precepts was the fact that we were not tied to the complexities of other larger organizations and could focus entirely on our problem of interest.
In 1995, we were joined by Doris Goldman, who brought with her a vision. We developed a new foundation as a spin-off of the parent organization. It would be more proactive than the Coalition in fund raising for the specific purpose of research and education in cardiac arrhythmias, targeted to the purpose of prevention of sudden cardiac deaths. The Cardiac Arrhythmias Research and Education (CARE) Foundation was born in April 1995, and began its existence with purpose and vigor.
