Heart Health: Larry King Cardiac Foundation

February is Heart Health Month. Larry King, Jr. knows first hand the importance of heart health. His father, Larry King, has had multiple heart attacks, which lead to the origination of the Larry King Cardiac Foundation. Larry Jr. joins the show to discuss what their foundation is doing in the fight against heart disease!

Larry King, Jr. was appointed a Board Member of the Larry King Cardiac Foundation in 1998, taking on the helm as President in September 2004. Larry, Jr.’s hard-driving, business-minded approach has significantly impacted the Foundation in his tenure as President. Over the past five years, the Foundation has saved over 775 lives, which is more than the Foundation did in the prior fifteen years combined. Larry has placed major emphasis on securing medical supplies at low or no cost, and in negotiating reduced rates with clinics and hospitals in order to assist as many deserving patients as many deserving patients as possible.
