N2  - U.S. Chagas disease, a neglected parasitic infection, affects ~300,000 people in the US. Untreated, Chagas disease leads to irreversible cardiac morbidity and death in 20-30% of cases, yet <1% receive antitrypanosomal therapy in the US. We describe the program structure, diagnostic uptake, local epidemiology, and care continuum for Chagas disease from the Strong Hearts Program, a Chagas care initiative at the East Boston Neighborhood Health Center (EBNHC) in Boston, MA.
