Living Heart Foundation

The Living Heart Foundation (LHF) is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing cardiovascular health screenings and research, particularly for retired professional athletes. Founded in 2001 by cardiac surgeon Dr. Arthur Roberts, the foundation focuses on the early detection and management of heart disease, obesity, and sleep apnea. LHF collaborates extensively with the NFL Players Association to conduct comprehensive health assessments for former players across the United States. Through its data collection and clinical studies, the foundation aims to improve long-term health outcomes and promote wellness in high-risk populations. Its programs utilize a national network of medical centers to provide diagnostic services and lifestyle intervention strategies.
