Anthony Bates Foundation

Medical Education

Education & Awareness is the main purpose of the Anthony Bates Foundation.

There is a wide bridge between wisdom gained from parents that have lost

a child to Sudden Cardiac Arrest and the knowledge of medical professionals.

Our goal in this section is to share our wisdom to bridge the gap!

Sharon Bates has had ten years of immersion as it relates to the cardiac

condition known as Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, HCM. In 2008 while

in Italy, Sharon heard Dr. Arbustini, Florence, Italy state, “Medical school

& specialty school students are lucky to have 1 hour of

cardiomyopathy training and barely have a genetic subject.” This

made an impression on her to share what she learns with doctors and medical

professionals everywhere.

In 2009 Stanford University hosted a conference on "Athletes

Heart & Sudden Death by HCM." Sharon Bates has been attending

the USA conferences since 2002 and this was the first conference

where Ms. Bates heard from a presenting cardiologists proclaimation,

"We need to be doing better screenings to protect athletes & children

from SCA in this country. Doing nothing isn't good enough."
