A graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point, Col Reese Turner has worked as a fitness trainer with Proformance Health & Well-Being, CycleBar, and F45. Outside his work in the fitness industry, Col Reese Turner has volunteered with several nonprofit organizations, including the Have A Heart Foundation.
Founded on the principle that high-quality healthcare should not be a luxury, the Have A Heart Foundation funds cardiovascular care for individuals through the Have A Heart Clinic. The clinic receives patients from all over Kentucky and southern Indiana, providing compassionate, affordable care for those with heart disease and other heart conditions.
Because many of the clinic’s patients are uninsured, the clinic utilizes a “pay it forward” method, accepting insurance from the patients who have it and using those funds to treat patients who qualify for free service. With just six full-time members, the clinic relies primarily on the generosity of volunteers to provide preventive services and treatment options for patients. For example, the clinic has performed more than 300 free community cardiovascular screenings since 2018.
