S7E9 - A Cut Above Heart Disease

Episode 9: A Cut Above Heart Disease

For more than a century, heart disease has reigned as the leading cause of death in the United States. About 10% of adults die from cardiovascular disease, and that number reaches 14% in South Carolina. It is especially a problem for black men. In this episode of Columbia Chronicles, reporter Kensley Green presents local innovation that hopes to diminish disease at the heart of the community.

Produced and edited by Molly Stover; final production by Ava A. Strauss
