Barbra Streisand has donated $5 million to LA’s Cedars-Sinai Medical for a women’s heart education and research program.

Says Streisand, “Women need to be educated about female cardiovascular disease and the medical community must be propelled toward change. Just like with breast cancer the impetus must come from women themselves striving to become empowered to reduce their risks for heart disease.”

Streisand’s monetary gift will create permanent funding for the Barbra Streisand Women’s Cardiovascular Research and Education at Cedars-Sinai, and the hospital said it would expand research efforts there.
