Atlanta Falcons Quarterback Matt Ryan has teamed up with Emory Healthcare, the official team healthcare provider of the Atlanta Falcons, to help tackle heart disease in Black and Brown communities who have higher rates of heart disease and death compared to White communities.
Ryan and the Falcons have created the "Healthy ATL" campaign to fund research and innovation at Emory Healthcare to address health disparities and important health challenges in vulnerable communities.
The launch of Healthy ATL coincides with February's American Heart Month. Donations will be directed toward research and innovation for heart disease that disproportionately affects some underrepresented communities.
