The Larry King Cardiac Foundation

Larry King To Ring The NASDAQ Stock Market Opening Bell to Honor his Foundation

November 3rd, 2006 - Larry King, founder of the Larry King Cardiac Foundation, will preside over the opening bell. He will be joined at the podium by his wife, Shawn Southwick-King, who is also the chair of the Foundation; a New York-area patient who has benefited from his Foundation's services; and doctors from New York Hospital Queens, who generously volunteer their time and services to perform life-saving surgery at no charge to the patient.

The Larry King Cardiac Foundation was established in 1988 to provide life-saving care to those who need it most - the uninsured population. The Foundation works in conjunction with hospitals throughout the nation to ensure that such patients receive proper medical attention. New York Hospital Queens is the first New York-area hospital to partner with The Larry King Cardiac Foundation and has already provided critical cardiac care to six area patients.
