Adria realized that lifestyle choices at younger ages affect your health later in life. It’s a message that she wishes she — and her mom — had understood earlier in life. See Adria's message about how lifestyle changes can make a difference. #HeartandStrokeRiskScreen

At just 19 days old, Logan was diagnosed with a rare congenital heart defect. His chances of survival were slim. His only hope was a new heart. And thanks to Dr. Lori West’s work in pediatric heart transplants, the surgery took place. And it was a success. #BeatHeartDisease
