It has been very satisfying to work with members of the South Asian community and help them improve their lifestyles. The Center has also helped educate me on how important regular exercise, a healthy balanced diet, restful sleep and meditation are for a healthy heart.
Sukanya Sekar Heart Health Coach since 2007
I learned about preventative medicine at the South Asian Heart Center and how much our body can benefit from a few simple lifestyle changes. I met some of the most enthusiastic and dedicated heart health coaches and other volunteers who cared so much about the wellbeing of each and every participant.

I have always been interested in health matters. The Center has given me the opportunity and invaluable training to educate, coach and share my knowledge with community members about heart disease. Volunteering at the Center has been a fulfilling, rewarding, and worthwhile experience for me.

I am grateful for a chance to serve my community. I enjoyed applying my quantitative skills. I get tremendous motivation and drive from knowing that the participant data I analyzed is extremely relevant and useful in shaping the direction of the program.

I volunteer at the Heart Center as I feel that what we do helps a lot of people. It is especially nice when participants acknowledge our efforts. It has also been beneficial to me personally as the lifestyle changes have impacted my whole family in a positive way.
