Acclaimed luminaries in the medical field such as Deepak Chopra, M.D. and Bernie Siegel, M.D. applaud and affirm Dr. Cortis' work. He is the founder of the 'Exceptional Heart Patient's Program', an organization dedicated to the prevention and healing of heart disease. Through his unique, creative and inspiring program, kids learn invaluable information about their own health as well as how to best talk to their parents about creating a healthy home environment.
Children agonize over health matters such as smoking and alcohol use in the home.
Dr. Cortis is helping children understand these issues and is providing them with relevant and responsible tools to cope with and address their concerns. With heart related disease killing more people each year than all combined cancers, heart health and its related subject matters such as stress, nutrition, smoking and other contributing factors should be paramount for children in their basic education. Let's teach kids about customer service in school, before they come to work for us in a few years. Potential sponsors for this program include Walmart, McDonalds, Burger King, Subway and many other fast-food or retail chains. This self-esteem building program featuring Sheila Glazov, award winning author of Princess Shayna's Invisible Visible Gift , is targeted to children between the ages of 5 and 12.
