  • Black Heart Association Heads to SXSW with Free Heart Screenings for Guard Your Heart Tour

    The national nonprofit will offer cardiovascular testing and education to attendees during one of Texas’s most innovative festivals

    Too many people only learn about heart disease when a crisis sends them to the hospital. I survived three heart attacks in one week, and that experience changed the course of my life.”
    — Tara Robinson, CEO and Founder, Black Heart Association

    AUSTIN, TX, UNITED STATES, March 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Black Heart Association (BHA), a nonprofit dedicated to expanding access to life-saving cardiovascular education and screenings, will provide on-site heart health screenings during SXSW 2026 in Austin, Texas. BHA was founded in 2017 by CEO and co-founder Tara Robinson after she survived three heart attacks in a single week. Since then, the Black Heart Association has grown into a national movement dedicated to heart disease prevention, education, and providing access to life-saving screenings.

    BHA’s SXSW initiative will offer complimentary cardiovascular screenings and education to attendees of one of the world’s most influential gatherings of innovators, entrepreneurs, and cultural leaders. As SXSW brings together global leaders in technology, culture, music, and film, the Black Heart Association’s presence at the event encourages attendees to prioritize their health as they build companies, create art, and shape the future.

    “Too many people only learn about heart disease when a crisis sends them to the hospital. I survived three heart attacks in one week, and that experience changed the course of my life. Our mission is to bring prevention to people before a crisis brings them to the hospital. By screening for LDL C, known as bad cholesterol, and Lp(a), a genetic form of cholesterol many people have never tested for, we are helping individuals understand their risk and protect their hearts earlier.” – Tara Robinson, CEO and Founder, Black Heart Association

    The activation aims to provide free screenings and resources to help professionals better understand their cardiovascular risk while navigating demanding careers, high-stress environments, and long working hours. As part of its national screening initiatives, Amgen serves as the Title Sponsor of the Guard Your Heart (GYH) Tour, supporting education and screenings focused on LDL-C, commonly known as “bad” cholesterol, with a goal of reaching more than 10,000 people nationwide. Eli Lilly is sponsoring 1,200 Lp(a) screenings to increase awareness of lipoprotein(a), a genetic cholesterol risk factor often excluded from standard tests and associated with an increased risk of heart disease.

    The SXSW event will be open to the public from March 15–16, 2026, at LZR, located at 612 W 4th Street, Austin, TX.

    For media inquiries or to schedule an interview with Tara Robinson, please contact Willow Vaitovas at willow@tenenicole.com or call (973) 975-5673.


    ABOUT BLACK HEART ASSOCIATION
    The Black Heart Association (BHA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding access to life-saving cardiovascular education, prevention, and screenings in communities within reach. Founded in 2017 by Tara Robinson, a three-time heart attack survivor, BHA focuses on raising awareness, advocating for better access to healthcare, and empowering communities to take charge of their heart health. BHA partners with several local and national organizations to expand its reach, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Association of Black Cardiovascular Doctors (ABC), Amgen, and Eli Lilly. BHA’s work has been highlighted by major media outlets, including Good Morning America, Essence, Women’s Health, and ABC News.

  • The American Board of Cosmetic Surgery Observes Cosmetic Patient Safety Awareness Month

    March 13, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

    The American Board of Cosmetic Surgery (ABCS), a U.S. medical board that certifies surgeons in the specialty of cosmetic surgery, is marking Cosmetic Patient Safety Awareness Month, observed March 1-31, 2026, by reaffirming its commitment to patient safety standards in cosmetic surgery. The organization uses the occasion to direct patients to resources that support informed decision-making when selecting a cosmetic surgeon.

    Cosmetic Patient Safety Awareness Month draws attention to the importance of safe practices. For the ABCS, the observance aligns closely with its core mission of certifying fellowship-trained cosmetic surgeons and educating the public about the qualifications that contribute to safe outcomes.

    “Patient safety is the foundation of everything the ABCS stands for,” said Amiya Prasad, MD, FACS, President of the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery. “Cosmetic Patient Safety Awareness Month is an opportunity to remind patients that verifying a surgeon’s credentials, confirming that procedures will be performed in an accredited facility, and asking thorough questions during a consultation are all essential steps toward a safe experience.”

    ABCS diplomates are required to complete a one- to two-year cosmetic surgery fellowship accredited by the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, during which they perform a minimum of 300 cosmetic procedures under supervision. Following fellowship, candidates must pass comprehensive written and oral examinations that specifically test knowledge and experience in cosmetic surgery. ABCS diplomates are also required to operate exclusively in accredited surgical facilities or hospitals, and the organization recertifies its diplomates every 10 years to ensure adherence to current best practices.

    The ABCS also offers the Cosmetic Surgery Patient Safety® Certification, a voluntary credential available to diplomates who pass a specialized patient safety examination beyond standard board certification requirements. The certification is intended to provide patients with an additional indicator of a surgeon’s commitment to safe practice.

    “The qualifications required of ABCS diplomates exist because patient safety depends on verifiable standards, not assumptions,” Dr. Prasad noted. “We encourage anyone considering a cosmetic procedure to use this month as an opportunity to research their surgeon’s credentials and ask the right questions before moving forward.”

    Additional resources including an educational blog, before and after photo gallery, procedure guides, and information on cosmetic surgery training and certification are available on the ABCS website. Blog topics covered include those that affect patients in the changing landscape of cosmetic medicine, such as cosmetic surgery after weight loss medications, the difference in FDA approval and FDA clearance, how to choose a safe medspa, and considerations before traveling overseas for cosmetic surgery. Available procedure guides include those about skin removal after weight loss, Botox®-type injectables and dermal fillers, and breast implants. And the “For Patients” menu educates patients about preparing for cosmetic surgery consultations, understanding procedure pricing, understanding before and after images, and surgeon training and credentials.

    The site also includes a surgeon search tool that allows patients to locate and verify the credentials of ABCS-certified cosmetic surgeons, including the option to find a surgeon by geographical area.

    The American Board of Cosmetic Surgery is the only certifying board that exclusively tests a surgeon’s knowledge and experience in cosmetic surgery. The organization evaluates a surgeon’s training, experience, and clinical knowledge through a rigorous examination process. For over 40 years, the ABCS has maintained standards for ethical practice and patient safety in cosmetic surgery procedures including facial rejuvenation, breast surgery, and body contouring.

    The American Board of Cosmetic Surgery is headquartered at 8840 Calumet Avenue, Suite 205, Munster, IN 46321. Information about ABCS certification and finding a board-certified cosmetic surgeon is available at https://www.americanboardcosmeticsurgery.org/.

A second corporation was formed in California on March 26, 1982 under the name of the Board of Cosmetic Surgery, Inc. The Delaware corporation and the California corporation subsequently assigned all their rights and obligations in 1990 to the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, Inc., a corporation organized under the nonprofit laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The American Board of Cosmetic Surgery is an independent organization, recognized as a nonprofit entity by the Internal Revenue Service under Section 501C-6 of the Internal Revenue Code. The American Board of Cosmetic Surgery has an independent set of officers, a board of trustees, and an executive director who manage, maintain, and set policy for the Board. Today, the ABCS has become the premier board for examining an elite few surgeons across the United States in strictly cosmetic surgery, which no other board does. The Board has evolved over the last few decades to keep up with the latest trends in cosmetic surgery while maintaining the highest standards.”

    — ARO Med Spa

    EL PASO, TX, UNITED STATES, March 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — ARO Med Spa will host a special educational beauty event, Spring Glow Reveal with PicoWay, on Thursday, March 26 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at its El Paso location. The event will introduce attendees to the advanced PicoWay laser system, a next generation technology designed to address common skin concerns such as pigmentation, sun damage, acne scars, and uneven skin tone.

    The Spring Glow Reveal event aims to provide both education and hands on insight into modern laser skin treatments. Guests will have the opportunity to watch live PicoWay treatment demonstrations, review real patient before and after results, and meet with the ARO Med Spa clinical team to discuss personalized treatment strategies.

    PicoWay uses ultra short picosecond laser pulses to target unwanted pigment and stimulate collagen production without significant heat damage to surrounding tissue. This approach allows the treatment to improve skin clarity and texture while minimizing downtime, making it an increasingly popular option for patients seeking effective but gentle skin rejuvenation.

    “Events like this allow people to learn about advanced skin treatments in a relaxed, informative environment,” said a representative from ARO Med Spa. “Many individuals are curious about laser technology but are unsure what it involves. By offering live demonstrations and one on one consultations, guests can better understand how PicoWay works and whether it is the right option for their skin goals.”

    During the event, attendees will also receive a personalized Skin Strategy Consultation, designed to evaluate their unique concerns and recommend tailored treatment options. The consultation process focuses on helping patients understand the underlying causes of pigmentation changes, acne scarring, and early signs of aging.

    In addition to educational presentations and demonstrations, the evening will include event only pricing, same day booking incentives, and raffle prizes available exclusively to guests in attendance. Light refreshments will be served while visitors connect with the ARO Med Spa team and explore treatment opportunities.

    The event is open to individuals interested in improving skin tone, reducing visible sun damage, softening acne scars, or learning about innovative aesthetic technologies that support long term skin health.
