Once upon a time…

W.A.Neal, MD
…there was a famous pediatric cardiologist. He saved and improved the quality of the lives of hundreds of sick children.
![Page 4: The CARDIAC story](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f78550346895dce7ebc/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
He was very happy about this.
![Page 5: The CARDIAC story](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f78550346895dce7ebc/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
But he knew there was more.
In 1995, the WV age adjusted death rate from heart disease was 21% higher than the national average.
![Page 6: The CARDIAC story](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f78550346895dce7ebc/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Something had to be done. But the grown-ups just didn’t seem to be getting it.
![Page 7: The CARDIAC story](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f78550346895dce7ebc/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Now, this was not just your average “run of the mill” famous pediatric cardiologist. He was a deep thinker!
Hold that thought.

The postman delivered letters that invited lots of people (including the famous pediatric cardiologist and a cranky nurse) to a meeting.
![Page 10: The CARDIAC story](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f78550346895dce7ebc/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
And lots of people went to the meeting to do good work.
![Page 11: The CARDIAC story](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f78550346895dce7ebc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
And everyone listened carefully to all the speeches.

Then everyone at the meeting got a special assignment to a
special focus group.
And the famous pediatric cardiologist with the bright idea was assigned to the same focus group as the cranky nurse.
![Page 13: The CARDIAC story](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815f78550346895dce7ebc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
…blah blah…if the school nurses had the money…blah
blah…reports
The cranky nurse didn’t like focus groups with all talk and no action and said so as she introduced herself to the group.

The land of dead-end reports
The famous pediatric cardiologist agreed. He decided to introduce himself to the cranky nurse.

W.Neal, MD
So over lunch at the meeting, the famous pediatric cardiologist talked to the cranky nurse. He told her about his bright idea and about 2 dyn-o-mite resources...

The Bright Idea• Prevention! Identify kids at risk for cardiovascular
disease.
• Go to the schools and offer free screenings. – Blood pressure– Finger-stick for cholesterol (evolved to FLP)– BMI– Eventually “neck check” for acanthoisis nigricans
• Get those at risk into appropriate treatment.
Reverse Universal Screening

Based at WVU SOM• Many of the same people
– Site Coordinators became Area Coordinators
• Able to focus on CARDIAC alone– More involvement in intervention
• Remains community-based
