Organizations Filed Purposes:
The John Ritter Foundation is dedicated to improving the identification of individuals at risk for aortic dissections and the treatment of thoracic aortic disease through medical research. The foundation also seeks to provide accurate information to the general public about the disease and its risk factors, along with support to individuals who have thoracic aortic disease or have lost a loved one to the disease. Finally, the foundation is dedicated to raising awareness of thoracic aortic disease, including risk factors, proper medical and surgical management, and recognition of symptoms of an acute aortic dissection.
In March 2011, the Foundation entered into an agreement with The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston ("UTHealth") to form the John Ritter Program in Thoracic Aortic Disease Research ("JRRP") which concentrates on research regarding the genetic causes of aortic disease.
