See My Heart
The American Society of Echocardiography Education and Research Foundation thanks Ronny Turiaf of the NBA’s Golden State Warriors for joining ASE's heart and circulation ultrasound specialists at the ASE Annual Scientific Sessions in Washington, DC on June 9, 2009. Ronny told his story and announced a new partnership between ASEF and his Ronny Turiaf Heart to Heart Foundation!Ronny was drafted to the NBA in 2005 and was set to play for the Lakers until an echocardiogram revealed a life-threatening heart condition – an enlarged aortic root. After undergoing open-heart surgery, he is now back on the court with the Golden State Warriors.
Ronny has since formed his own foundation, the Ronny Turiaf Heart-to-Heart Foundation, to make sure that those less fortunate have access to important heart tests like echocardiograms, and that they know how to live heart healthy lives.
ASE, the ASE Foundation and Ronny Turiaf’s foundation have a common goal and will work together to raise public awareness about the value of echocardiography. The ASE Foundation mission includes raising funds for research and education while Ronny’s foundation looks to increase accessibility to echos for children in need.
