Meet Our President/CEO
Venita D. Turner
Venita Turner is a Cincinnati native, who was the recipient of a heart on December 8, 2023. Her vision of this non-profit came about after learning of the biggest need of heart transplant patients during her recovery. After much prayer, The Beat Goes On was birthed. We look forward to serving families traveling the distance to get great heart care in Cincinnati, Ohio.
