Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. In 2023, at the request of County Commissioner Mark D. Bogen, the Broward County Board of Commissioners funded a $10 million pilot project to offer free preventive cardiac tests to qualified Broward County residents at local hospitals. The Broward Heart Project runs through 2024. Go to https://www.broward.org/takehearttest/Pages/default.aspx for more information.
