Seahawks’ Greg Olsen shares photos of foundation-funded pediatric heart center

Seattle Seahawks tight end Greg Olsen spent nine years as a Carolina Panther. Olsen and his wife, Kara, have a foundation that is behind the new pediatric heart center at Levine Children’s Hospital.

Images of the project, which came about through a $2.5 million donation from their Atrium Health Foundation. The cause resonates with the Olsens, whose son TJ, was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect.

Since 2013, The HEARTest Yard, an initiative of Receptions for Research: The Greg Olsen Foundation, has been joining forces with Levine Children’s Hospital and Sanger Heart & Vascular Institute to support families of children with congenital heart disease. And now, with the launch of our region’s first neurodevelopmental program of its kind, we’re taking the next step to help these children not just survive, but thrive into adulthood.

The HEARTest Yard Pediatric Cardiac Center is housed in the Medical Center Plaza building adjacent to Levine Children’s Hospital.

“Please join us Monday, December 6th, for our virtual grand opening event. Hear from the people who have made this possible and get a tour of the 25,000 sq foot facility! #Halveaheart,” Olsen tweeted. For more information, please click here.
