Why was the San Andres Hearts & Dreams Foundation formed?
The San Andres Hearts & Dreams Foundation was formed by its current President, Gregory San Andres in memory of his younger brother Michael San Andres who passed away suddenly and unexpectedly from a fatal heart arrhythmia as a complication from a heart condition called Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy (HOCM or oHCM). Furthermore, Karen San Andres, mother of Gregory and Michael, also lives with HOCM and has experienced several major life-threatening cardiac events which would have been fatal if not for immediate expert surgical care by her doctors. The San Andres Hearts & Dreams Foundation was subsequently formed to raise awareness and funding in honor of Michael, Karen, and all others who have been impacted by the full spectrum of Heart Disease.
Why Does Our Foundation Support the American Heart Association?
Due to the direct impact our family and many families experience with Heart Disease, The San Andres Hearts & Dreams Foundation is committed to supporting the efforts of the American Heart Association in their research, advocacy, and education related to improving heart and brain health. Our goal is to help the American Heart Association improve the lives of those living with Heart Disease.
