ANTHONY BATES FOUNDATION
Mission Statement
The Anthony Bates Foundation (ABF) believes that no parent should suffer the heartbreak of losing a child to an undiagnosed cardiac malady; we seek to eliminate preventable Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). The organization will fulfill its mission by continuing our efforts to establish a nationwide heart screening program for youth, free of charge or low cost, thus solving a significant public health issue through screenings, education, collaboration and facilitation. ABF is the ONLY organization screening our nation's youth with a copyrighted training protocol and a collection mechanism of epidemiological data that provides valuable information for researchers and medical professionals.
