Hi! My name is Corinne Connant and I am a junior at Millburn High School. I am so grateful to represent my high school on the Overlook Foundation Junior Board. This organization fundraises money for a grant which goes to a specific area of the hospital each year. This year we dedicated our efforts to the Cardiology center!

In the United States, heart disease is the leading cause of death for men, women, and people of most racial and ethnic groups. In fact, one person dies every 33 seconds from cardiovascular disease. In Overlook’s cardiac catheterization labs, physicians can detect blockages or abnormalities of the heart’s blood vessels, arteries, valves, and chambers, and perform angioplasties, echocardiograms, and pacemaker implantations. And now the hospital’s state-of-the-art cardiology center will feature single rooms that offer intensive, intermediate, and standard acute care without moving patients. For those whose conditions are not stable enough for transfer to a regular hospital room, the new CCU will provide the highest level of medical monitoring and care around the clock.

I am hoping you can help me reach our fundraising goal of $25,000!

Thank you so much for your support, generosity, and helping save lives.
