AdventHealth Polk Foundation

Heart of Florida Breast Ultrasound

Breast cancer screening saves lives through early detection, significantly improving treatment success. At AdventHealth Heart of Florida, we are dedicated to providing top care for women.

We need your support to acquire new ultrasound equipment to detect breast cancer early, improving outcomes, provide additional screening for women with dense breast tissue, and ensure annual mammograms and clinical breast exams for women starting at age 40.

Your generous donation will enhance breast cancer screening and care at AdventHealth Heart of Florida, directly impacting the health of women in Polk County.

Your Generosity Heals

Thanks to community members, the Foundation was able to fully fund the new 3D mammography system at AdventHealth Lake Wales.

Since January 2024, more than 800 women have utilized this life-saving equipment.

Lake Wales Cardiac Care

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, with someone dying from a coronary event every 60 seconds. Coronary heart disease causes one out of every four deaths, affecting over 630,000 people annually. Heart disease impacts us all, directly or indirectly.

At AdventHealth Lake Wales, we offer leading-edge heart care in our community. Our dedicated team performs cardiac-related procedures, helping our neighbors live healthier, longer lives. To continue providing exceptional care, we need your support to renew our Cath Lab equipment and purchase a new echocardiographic machine.

These upgrades will help us perform minimally invasive cardiac procedures and enhance our cardiovascular care. Your generous donation will directly impact the lives of countless individuals in Polk County, ensuring access to the best heart care available.
