At Royal Oak Cardiology Group we are committed to giving to causes we care about. Giving of time, money and resources is our duty as a responsible partner in our community, our city and our world. Below are some of the causes we currently sponsor:
Youth Programs & Services
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is internationally recognized for its pioneering work in finding cures and saving children with pediatric cancer and other catastrophic diseases. St. Jude is unlike any other pediatric treatment and research facility anywhere. Discoveries made here have completely changed how the world treats children with cancer and all patients accepted for treatment at St. Jude are treated without regard to the family's ability to pay.

Disaster Relief
Service International
Service International helps people in spiritual, physical, and situational crises. When disaster strikes, government and relief organizations converge on the scene with food, water, and other necessary supplies. While SI also provides immediate disaster relief, their focus is on complete, long-term recovery. Their primary goal is to make each community we serve capable of continuing its own restoration program long after we have gone. In order to accomplish that task, they train residents and local authorities in volunteer and material coordination as well as reconstruction techniques. Service International visited and assisted victims of Hurricane Katrina within weeks of the disaster and they continue to send volunteers and supplies to the affected region.
