Most of us know someone affected by heart disease. It remains the leading cause of death in the U.S., touching millions of families every year. But together, we can make a difference.
At the Mary & Steve Wen Cardiovascular Division, we combine cutting-edge research, advanced training and compassionate care to help people live healthier lives. Today, you can be part of that impact—and help change heart health in our community and beyond.
Three ways to make a difference: Discover. Teach. Heal.
Discover: Advancing Heart Disease Prevention
Research saves lives. Support for cardiovascular research helps our scientists study prevention, early detection and innovative treatments, turning discoveries in the lab into solutions that improve care for patients with complex heart conditions.
By investing in discovery today, you help prevent heart disease tomorrow.
Teach: Training the Next Generation of Cardiologists
Great care starts with great training. Your support strengthens our Cardiovascular Simulation Center and fellowship programs, giving future cardiologists hands-on experience with the latest technologies and techniques so they’re ready to care for patients with confidence and skill.
Heal: Delivering Compassionate, Personalized Care
Every heart—and every patient—is unique. Programs like Women’s Heart Health allow our team to provide care that is personalized, inclusive, and responsive to each person’s needs. Support helps ensure patients have access to advanced treatments, coordinated care and programs that focus on the whole person.
This is where grateful patients become partners in healing.
Your Gift in Action
Here are a few examples of how your gift can make an impact:
- $25 provides heart-health education and resources for patients and families.

No matter how you choose to give, your support helps patients, families, and the next generation of cardiovascular experts, improving heart health across Orange County and beyond.
