Local nonprofit Black Heart Association (BHA) will be onsite at Comerica Center from 3 pm to 6:45 p.m., performing free heart screenings inside their Cardiovascular and Resource Delivery Vehicle (CARDI V). Trained staff and medical providers will conduct these screenings with a simple finger prick, delivering instant results and offering insight.
These complimentary heart health screenings provide potentially life-saving information and give participants the opportunity to detect early signs of cardiovascular issues. The screenings offer a clearer understanding of overall heart health and help guide individuals toward appropriate next steps.
Tickets for the April 17 “Hearts and Heroes” home game are available here.
Headquartered out of Grand Prairie, Black Heart Association is a nonprofit focused on improving heart health through advocacy, education and empowerment.
