Free Cardiac Tests Through Broward Heart Project

​Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. 

In 2023, at the request of County Commissioner Mark D. Bogen, the Broward County Board of County Commissioners funded a $10 million pilot project to offer free preventive cardiac tests to qualified Broward County residents at local hospitals, including Holy Cross Health. 

To be eligible for a FREE preventive test as part of this project, you must:

• Be a Broward County resident
• Be 45-70 years of age
• Meet certain risk criteria or requirements, as established by a panel of doctors
• ​Be covered by Medicare, Medicaid or private health insurance (even though the preventive test is free, all participants are required to have health insurance in case follow up care is needed)

The Broward Heart Project runs through 2026.
