We are a passionate team of cardiac nurses dedicated to preventing and treating heart disease, and this year, we are proud to be part of the Heart Walk. This event is vital in raising funds for the American Heart Association (AHA), which drives life-saving work across several key areas. Heart disease remains the No. 1 killer, and stroke ranks No. 5 in our nation. The money raised supports cutting-edge research to prevent, treat, and cure heart disease and stroke, fueling innovative breakthroughs that improve lives.
Beyond research, the AHA is deeply committed to public health education, creating campaigns that promote heart health, healthy living, and awareness of cardiovascular risks. Donations also empower community programs, including health screenings, CPR training, and initiatives that provide access to nutritious food and exercise resources. The AHA advocates for impactful policies ranging from tobacco control to healthier school meals and affordable healthcare that contribute to a heart-healthy future.
The funds are raised to support patients and families dealing with heart disease, offering them the resources to manage their conditions and lead healthier lives. Be a relentless force. Be a supporter of critical research. Be a lifesaver. Be a part of an unstoppable team. Join us now, and walk to save lives. Together, we can make a meaningful impact!
