Mission
The mission for the Make Them Know Your Name Foundation (MTKYN) is to help prevent heart related fatalities in communities across the nation. We are going to accomplish this by providing the resources necessary to educate people in the various aspects of Heart Health.
Vision
Our vision is to positively change the outcome of cardiac episodes in communities across the United States, beginning locally here in Ohio. The foundation will create, assist and support heart healthy solutions with a focus on education, prevention management and treatment initiatives. Special emphasis will be placed on training and developing educational programs at venues such as gyms, health clubs, training studios and other public facilities. We believe that knowledge, training, and building the confidence to take action has the power to save lives and protect families from unnecessary loss that’s oftentimes a preventable or rectifiable cardiac situation.
