      Nearly 50 percent fewer people die today of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) than did 25 years ago because of advancements in treatment, but challenges with prevention efforts continue. CVD remains the No. 1 killer of both men and women in the U.S. Only 20 percent of health is determined by genetics and clinical care, while the remaining 80 percent is determined by the conditions in which people live and the access they have to healthcare, healthy foods, education, and adequate housing. Future advancements will rely on creative community-wide solutions.

      The 25th anniversary Heart Ball, benefitting the American Heart Association, will take place at The Depot in Minneapolis on Friday, Nov. 1, 2019. This elegant black-tie gala will celebrate the advancements in CVD research and treatment over the past 25 years, honor local survivors and philanthropic leaders, and raise funds to inspire the future innovations needed to address the growing prevention challenges.

      The event will honor Jeannine Rivet, retired EVP of UnitedHealth Group, with the prestigious Heart of the City Award. Rivet’s philanthropy and leadership are propelling solutions forward to improve the health of our community. This is only the third time the unique honor has been bestowed since 2014.

      “Jeannine is a driving force in challenging the industry to enhance health and well-being through information, collaboration, social responsibility, corporate giving, and advancement of optimal healthcare,” says Holly Messick, executive director of the American Heart Association, Minnesota.

      People giving a standing ovation around their dinner tables in an event venue.Rivet, who started her career as a nurse, joined UnitedHealth Group in 1990 as VP of Health Service Operations and quickly advanced through the company to EVP of UnitedHealth Group and CEO of UnitedHealthcare, Ingenix, and Optum before retiring in 2018. She has been recognized by many publications as one of the most powerful women in business. She continues to serve on numerous corporate boards and foundations.

      The 2019 Heart Ball corporate chair is Jenny O’Brien, chief compliance officer of UnitedHealthcare, and will be hosted by Daniel Green, celebrity chef. Local heart survivor Jason Tschetter will share his story. Read more about the event here.
