The Fondation Marc Ladreit de Lacharrière supports the Bus du Coeur

The Foundation has become a founding partner of the Bus du Coeur, and will be providing financial support for our inclusive health initiative for women in precarious situations over the next 5 years. A Bus will go out to meet them in their town and neighborhood, to offer them screening for cardiovascular disease in order to put them back on a cardio-gynecological care pathway. The project will cover 5 towns in 2021, and could expand to 80 towns by 2025. It will be launched in Lille on World Heart Day, September 29.
