Increasing Access to Cardiac Care in Rwanda

Team Heart is a non-profit medical organization focused on bringing sustainable cardiac care to Rwanda. Our mission has four primary pillars: Excellence in Patient Care; Increased access to Specialized Cardiac Care; Awareness, Education, Training, and Evidenced Based Research; Foundational and Leadership Growth. Each year, we travel to Rwanda to perform screenings, heart operations and workshops with local Rwandan medical staff. We invite you to learn more about our mission, supporting our team, and volunteering.
