Advancing Health and Hope for Everyone, Everywhere

The Need is Clear

Since the American Heart Association's founding in 1924, deaths from cardiovascular diseases have been cut in half. And yet, there are still so many lives to be saved. Recently, death rates have worsened. Solutions are not getting to the people who need them the most. We are committed to changing that.
