My wife is awesome!
Rhina was nominated for this year’s American Heart Association’s Women of Impact campaign.
For 30 years, she has worked as a nurse at Scripps Health in San Diego.
15 years ago, her son Eric, died from Sudden Cardiac Arrest. She established the Eric Paredes Save a Life Foundation to provide free youth heart screenings in the San Diego area, so other parents would be spared the grief of losing a child. To date, her Foundation has screened over 43,000, found 673 cardiac abnormalities, and placed 209 AEDs at area schools and places where youth gather.
I’m proud to be on her team of changemakers making a real impact on the state of women’s health.
We’d be grateful for even the smallest of contributions. If unable to help at this time, please share this effort with your network.
Thank you.
