Combined with leadership gifts already in place, more than $500,000 is now available to fund additional centers in South San Jose and Fremont, joining three others in Mountain View, Milpitas and Los Gatos, Calif. Together, the five centers will be able to serve 1,000 residents per year increasing to 3,000 by 2017.<\/p>\n

The idea for the South Asian Heart Center began when El Camino Hospital physicians noticed that those of South Asian lineage represented six percent of acute myocardial infarction cases in the emergency department, even though they comprise only three percent of the local population. Many of these patients were not in high-risk categories (over 50, smoker, obese, etc.) so they didn\u2019t exhibit the traditional warning signs.<\/p>\n

Working together, community philanthropists, the hospital\u2019s foundation and El Camino\u2019s medical team pioneered a new approach to intervention called AIM to Prevent, a comprehensive, culturally-tailored program that raises awareness, reduces heart disease and diabetes risk through advanced screening, lifestyle counseling, and personalized coaching, and conducts educational outreach and clinical research. The Center has screened over 5,200 participants, whose sustained behavior change, as measured by increased physical activity levels and number of vegetable servings, has led to improved cholesterol ratios and triglyceride levels.<\/p>\n

\u201cHeart attacks and early stage diabetes continue to be major health issues for the South Asian community,\u201d said Ashish Mathur, executive director. \u201cThrough the generous support of the community at large, we can continue to expand and replicate our proven and successful program to significantly reduce these health risks facing the South Asian community.\u201d<\/p>\n
