Team Heart

Addresses the burden of cardiovascular disease in Rwanda by increasing access to specialized, lifesaving cardiac care.

Overview

Each year volunteers travel at their own expense and raise money to support travel and the cost of supplies in addition to their vacation time donated. For some, this might be their first year, for others, they are returning for their tenth trip. But for all involved- it is life-changing. Help us by becoming a volunteer to help save the life of a very deserving patient!

Our team is made up of volunteer medical staff from leading academic medical centers across the United States whose cardiac surgery and cardiology programs are consistently top-rated in the United States. We also partner with the Ministry of Health and local medical personnel in Rwanda. Our volunteers use their vacation time and pay their own way for these trips, but the value of these experiences lasts a lifetime. We are incredibly grateful for our team members’ selflessness and generosity. Are you drawn to our cause?

Are you inspired to directly save lives? We are always looking for passionate individuals to join our Team.
