Our Mission

CardioCare's mission is to educate, empower, and inspire communities to take proactive steps toward heart health through awareness, prevention, and accessible education.

Our Vision

We envision a future where every individual has the knowledge and resources needed to prevent heart disease and lead a healthier life.

Meet the Founders

CardioCare was founded by Inayat Arora and Sandra Botros when they were juniors at Carmel High School with the goal of making heart health education more accessible, engaging, and community-focused. What began as a local initiative has grown into a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness about cardiovascular disease prevention through educational events, outreach programs, fundraising initiatives, and partnerships with healthcare professionals and organizations.

Together, they are committed to expanding CardioCare’s impact by creating meaningful opportunities for education, advocacy, and service. Through community events, CPR awareness initiatives, healthcare partnerships, and outreach in underserved areas, CardioCare aims to inspire people of all ages to take a more active role in their heart health and overall well-being.
