Our Background

Founded in 2011 by James Alderman, M.D. and David Demers, Healthy Hearts is an early stage health service organization, based at the Metrowest YMCA in Framingham, MA.  Drawing on the thought leadership from experts in behavior change, cardiology, nutrition, physiology and technology,  a beta project is being launched in 2013 in conjunction with the Heart Center of MetroWest, Vanguard Health System’s MetroWest Medical Center and St. Vincent Medical Center.  Future plans include a nationwide roll-out of the program with selected sponsor organizations.
